Three questions on PF

Dear Jerry,
I don't know the answers to any of your three questions, but I do have a
couple of suggestions. For the fictional Cedarn etc you might look at a
map
of those states. For Edsel Ford, the "poet", look for anagrams. Edsel
Ford
and John Shade both have 9 letters in their names. The Edsel Ford lines
quoted by Kinbote are reminiscent of the opening of the famous
Fitzgerald
translation of The Rubaiyat. There are at least two versions, though,
one
with and without the cock.
Happy hunting,
Carolyn
[EDNOTE. Quilty also alludes to The Rubaiyat, as quoted in the
Briceland Gazette in LO, p. 262. -- SES]
