Why read Becket under a tree like Elijah Wood (cf Thoreau's poem)? During Lent, Malone is dying and meditating upon this Bazin is a cultural child of the French university scene..Becket, an irish Playwright...who wrote waiting for Godot. You're late! A wizard is never late..he arrives precisely when he means to.Before Elijah went up the mountain, he got lost in the woods...kind of like Dante or something.
