True, true :) But even a fact as small as that emphasises Salinger's focus on the insular, the inner self, whereas Rilke always seems to me a little like the man in Douglas Adams' `So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish' whose house has its garden indoors and all its curtains and wallpaper and furniture outside. He wants to make the whole world his home.
