Spots before my eyes

Andrew is back(!) and notes:
"It's page 130, line 15 where Pynchon talks of                   
toothpaste `leaving white spots across the quicksilver mirrors from
Harrow to Gravesend ... ' a perfect, crystal reflection on maculate
mortality and the immaculate redeemer.  Now that's what I call a
segway . . ."


Indeed--a-and I'll bet those spots fall in one of those Poisson Distributions, too!

Hmm. "Gravesend" is an obvious enough choice of place names, but where does the
name "Harrow" originate?
