COL 49 Chapter 4 Starters

> She asks a crucial
> question: "Shall I project a world?"-reminiscent of Dribblette's
> planetarium (Grant) and T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred
> Prufrock" (Do I dare to eat a peach?).

Also from wasteland - the final "chapter" of which, What the 
Thunder Said, conflates St. Augustine and Prajapati (of the 
Upanishad)......"the offspring of Prajapati ask him to tell them their 
DUTY. To each he says 'DA', which each interprets differently : the 
gods understand it as "be restrained" (damyata), humans as "give 
alms" (datta) and demons as "have compassion" (dayadhvam). ALl 
are correct....." (footnote from Norton's edition)

Elizabethan England was very much a "caste" system, with three 
general classes  - gentry, yeomen, and laborers.......I'm guessing 
that the DA (Word) in this case is that of the ancient greek 
dramatists, strained through Seneca and once again manipulated 
by, not only the "attributed" source, but also the "contaminators" 
like them PUritans who plant the Trystero story in CT.....
