MDDM: Ch 33 - Notes and Questions Part 2

triumph of the revolution, which was adopted as the
national hymn in 1813" certainly have their resonances
here, elsewhere in that Pynchonian ouevre, no?  Yes,
indeedy they do.  Precisely the kind of nomenclatural
overtones, undertones, harmonics, grace notes,
whatever, that Charles Hollander, for example, has
