----------
(209.21) "Between you and me is not only a rocket trajectory, but also a
life. [...] between the two points [...] it lives an entire life. [...] our
side of the flight profile, the visible or trackable. Beyond them there's
so much more, so much none of us knows..."
But it is a curve each of them feels, unmistakably. It is the parabola.
----------
The parabola continues (maybe) on the other side. Then, reasonably,
it will rise again from the "other side," and so continue. Kilroy's two
peepers just over and his big schnoze just the other side of that threshold.
Take the seasons as a continuous wave, where the "horizon" is the X-Zero.
The advent of Spring is on the zero. So too is the advent of Autumn.
Katje's season (like Nora's) is Autumn, the harbinger of Winter, the season
of long nights, Death. Slothrop is Spring, the first spark of life
springing form a cold, hard earth. Each is the spearhead for their side of
the "horizon."
Is this wave reversible? Autumn blooming full grown into Summer? Spring
shrinking back into the frozen earth?
