Pynchon

[Scott Chesnick]

: time plus delta

 Gravity's rainbow repeats time and time again and there is no plot or theme 
other than the readers own projections.From a TP of an earlier time...
"Would the blessed calms would last. But the mingled threads of life are woven
by warp and woof, calms, crossed by storms, a storm for every calm. There is
no steady unretracing progress in this life ; we do not advance thru fixed 
gradiations; and at the last pause: Thru infancy unconscious spell, childhoods
thoughtlesss faith, adolescent doubt, then sceptism, then disbelief, resting 
at last in adulthood's heavy repose. But once gone thru, we trace the round 
again; and are infants, youth and grown and the wheel rolls eternal to the 
common doom."
                      -- some 19th century poet with sensitive friends --
