It's plain that we must turn back to chapter 3 to revisit
Sister Wren.
And it's a lot like V in love. And what do you know, why the
dossier of Stencil is plainly described, around each seed, a
nacreous mass of inference, poetic license (Pynchon's pretty
good at that too), forcible dislocation of personality into
the past he didn't remember and had no right in, save the
right of imaginative anxiety or historical care, which is
recognized by no one. His scungile farm.....plain as the
text on your nose.
So Part I opens with the yellow clouds. Here too, we have
men in lust with young girls and incest and the rest of the
Carol singing dear Alice, and the sun, and we even have
"THEM" and we have A Catholic girl, she has in fact been to
a convent school and she had, for a time, considered the son
of god an eligible bachelor. She comes to understand that
Jesus prefers a harem of virgins to a wife and so she leaves
the convent but not the Church. What church?
