> I always viewed V as the anima. The second self within male/female ,dark 
to light active/passive and the usual stuff being bantered around the old 
ZEN dojo a totally ephemeral concept once thought to be within realization 
and close
>to touching disappears into wisps. What is the framework of own expierence 
for we only begin to understand once we pass it by and know and learn only 
in the past tense.
> The Giant V imagery may be part of the young Thomas early visual impressions
>that stick and echo in some subliminal well worn (but 
forgotten)neurological paths. If you remember groove echos of cheap vin_yal 
records (If the master was pressed to hard or the polyemer was to hot, the 
tracks would be bleed over to the earlier time tracks and be bearly audible 
just before the music would begin, It gives one a slight anticipation ,an 
early sense of the timing and the song stuck in your head before you have 
even heard it. 
>  The V was all over World War II films and documentaries later in the 
Fifties. V for Victory , Victory at sea had a huge V in it's beginning 
graphics, V_ictory gardens, Winston Churchill and the v drawn in for 
crotches in simple pubescent fantasies adolesent boy's grade school dooodles.
