I think it is "the mat of night admits the groaning godlike love", not "men of night" I get this from another website, Here and Now interview of Farrar. http://www.hereandnow.org/2009/10/kerouac/ It seems that Willamine is Willamine "Billy" Dabney a fictional character representing the real life Jackie Gibson Mercer. Mercer was one of Kerouac's lovers while in California. I also wonder if the Genghis Khan cloud is a reference to the White Cloud buddhist temple in China restored by Genghis Khan in the 13th century. http://www.chinese-architecture.info/PEKING/PE-042.htm
