However, such unanimity seems precisely the kind of totalizing conformity which is dreaded under the heading of Utopianism. Oddly enough, the motto to this last fancy, occupying the same terminal position on plate 24 that the eager motto held on plate 20, can support this: “One Law for the Lion & Ox is Oppression.” A reading which, conversely, would ‘befriend’ text and motto recommends the new friendship of Angel/Devil, Devil and Narrator, in that all have escaped the ‘One Law’ of the Angel’s…
