Is there a play on V and Five?  John V. Marsch?  V.R.T.?

Has nobody before made the connection between Marsch and Marshmen? I'm sure somebody must have (it's an obvious sort of Wolfean wordplay), but I can't recall anyone doing so.

One more quick point - when the barrier around ste      Anne falls, Sandwalker asks his mother what color his eyes are      "now". Of course she answers that eyes are green, but this ,      coupled with the strange mitotic imagery in the eyes of the      creature Marsch shoots , and the pits known as the eye and the      other eye,  is at least enough to hint that one character in an      allegorical story is concerned that his eyes have actually changed      color from something happening on Ste. Anne. ( and the shadow      children grabbing the marsh men by the eyes to ride them ........)      
      
      
    
    The piece about green eyes is a bit clunky; I interpret it simply as    Wolfe hammering home the point that green eyes are a characteristic    by which we may identify abos.  As for the water buffalo-like    creature that Marsch shoots, I find Marsch's explanation    reasonable.  Incidentally, the Shadow Children are indicated to grab    the Marshmen by the hair, a;though they do gouge out the eyes of one    of them.
