Yup, I still plan to post what I have learned.   I will try
to make judicious use of Eddins' Gnostic Pynchon, a book you
know make the argument that Blicero's reading of Rilke is
"wrong" and Hohmann's Thomas Pynchon's Gravity Rainbow : A
Study of Its Conceptual Structure and of Rilke's Influence
(American University Studies : Series Iv, English Lan) and a
few others. 

Wir, in den ringgenden Nachten,
wir fallen von Liebende taut,
sind wir ein sturzender Stein.

We, in the struggling nights,
keep falling from nearness to nearness;
where the woman in love is dew,
we are a plummeting stone. 

		--R.M. Rilke
