These come in the book's many interludes, as where Neddy Joe, the ancient lodge-keeper, sits in warm sunshine tying salmon flies out of bright feathers and passing crabbed strictures on all the folk he best loves. At an inn with a white sand floor and bacon flitches hanging in the rafters, a poet with the face of a thousand wrinkles relates how a great Irish bard, Dan Hoyser (Tannhäuser!), met Venus in Germany's mountains...
