“ …. we are on a twisting blacktop through fields toward the mountains up ahead. This is a road Phædrus used all the time, and flashes of his memory coincide everywhere. The high, dark Absaroka Range looms directly ahead.“ 2mi South of Joliet MT As I traveled the 40 miles to Red Lodge, these mountains grew, and grew to indeed fit words .... “looms directly ahead“. At this photo location, but on the West side of the highway is a giant gravel parking lot. Here is a safe place to stop, rest, enjoy the scenery, and review ZMM for the up-coming landscape descriptions. My research notes say: “Now I see again, how much the reading of ZMM’s Travel’ Narrative, supports, reflects upon, and amplifies, by analogy, ZMM’s twisting heavy readings in philosophy, and conversely.” Here in my notes I drew a wiggly twisty line to illustrate the twists of the highway seen already and I anticipate at mountain switch-backs ahead. This analogy the Narrator uses repeatedly, and thus is a Master Motif. So also are “streams” and “traveling towards their source”, as is seen in captions next. As I drove the ZMM Route day-after-day, many, many of the Narrator’s Various Master Motifs surfaced in mind, triggered by the passing landscape. Indeed: Philosophy Supports the Travel!! ..
