one more SLSL "The Small Rain" & "The Waste Land"

[pynchonoid]

In the Intro, Pynchon sez "Apparently I felt I had to
put on a whole extra overlay of rain images and
references to 'The Waste Land' and _A Farewell to
Arms_. I was operating on the motto 'Make it
literary,' a piece of bad advice I made up all by
myself and then took."

Anybody want to comment on the 'The Waste Land' and _A
Farewell to Arms_ references in the story?

-Doug
