"Walls,
stones, rocks and pieces of dense materials can parallel darkness or
deep colors, blues and green hues when wailing about impregnable
passes, cul-de-sac in philosophical and metaphysical venues? Green
and density, opacity, in Pynchon's pieces are of interest.
Substantial support might lead one to consider algae and moss as
parallel systems apart from green lush olde forest but quintessential
to creation of soils from such growth on density, rock and darkness
wrapped, clouded, noxious environs - vegetative protozoans of newness
from pre-history before wailing and moaning herds arose. This would
be clearly where metal hits road and frys all those in way of such
molten slag. Close ties with Guittari and other philosophers slated
as obvious when such jungles and mires are viewed in this landscape."
The natural greens of rainbows and vegetation are contrasted with the
coal-tar derivative greens and magentas of the analytical reprocessors
of nature in GR. See again the Titan's passage, especially.
