Marvelous. So sorry I missed this when you first put it up.
Now, tangentially, I'm intrigued by how much Caradog Prichard disturbs you and what you say about him:
he is Cooper's most convincing depiction of the Dark in human form. (He makes no bargains, he summons nothing, he is not a fallen angel or even a tragic figure like Hawkin; he is a small-minded, spiteful, quick-angering man who nearly does murder over a meaningless grudge and destroys himself for it anyway. And once he wanted to be a poet, so he braved the night up on Cader Idris. He genuinely disturbs me.)
