Finnegan's Wake

>So here is a call to join in song.  We might traditionally hear a chorus,
>but instead we get a dash--signalling a pause, a SILENCE.  This silence
>is the entrance to the text on page 3, as the V-2 strikes before it's
>heard (represented here by the pause, the dash, the absence.)  Silence,
>and then -- "A sceaming comes a cross the sky", the sound that follows
>the silence we've experienced before (on 760,) and . . . "It has happened
>before, . . ."  "It is too late."  The mandala structure that is
>emblematic of the War continues to function even in attempts to represent
>the War in fiction.
>or maybe  -  just a thought here  - the apocalypse, the collapse, has
>already happened and we just don't realize it yet
