Subject: NPPF Canto Three

300 lines doesn't post well. Now trying small part #1:

Canto three's my favorite so far. Not only will I give
a lexicon, but gladly offer my grand totalizer's scheme:

Small cantos 1 and 4 (anticipating Elfin Koenig) may be
child molestation related, but central cantos 2 and 4
are the two major aspects of a married and self-married
man. Canto 2 would be -Sybil's- favorite, because it is
about the mundane married life, but canto 3 is replete
with the standard poetic AF (but also AC!) references.

To acquaint a non-experiencer with this tantric domain,
I suggest discovery is typically inverted, neck to the
earth like Atlas, pen is overhead fulfilling many poetic
tropes: bird, cloud, transit of sun, sword, tree, serpent,
etc. The mouth is variously a sea, or abyss. And yet, it
is a speech act: speaking oneself into death and rebirth.

A sufficient number of males have found and pumped up
all phallologocentric religions with metaphors that can
not be broken down without this positional information,
and to know reflexive references allow further licence.

Shade's -death- is braketed by the -pipe-, a reflexive
pen is trope marking the whole death sequence as related
to autofe11atio and the consequent metanoia (for some).
The doctor at his feet is himself, and he is the pipe.

Heart is a term that, after much pondering religion in
light of this domain, I am tempted to assign to genital.
However, when making a taxonomy of terms to cover many
diverse usages, I have to allow that mapping is partial.

Like Shade tore apart Poe, I also tore apart Poe. His
works are full of AF metaphors: The Raven is the pen is
on the head of Pallas, tapping out his metanoia coming.
He's always into pits, abysses, malestroms, whirlpools.

But Shade's totalizing ability is less than Nabokov's!
Because Shade has not yet made the AF - AC connection.
It took me fifteen years of trying to posit AF as sole
cause of religions, before an Emily Dickinson poem of a
frenzied bell ringing itself, opened, doubled my vista.

Now, I can see that the final doubling of Revelation's
vision of the advent of Jerusalem include differences
of biological gender: AF and AC: fountain and mountain.

I had a sudden insight on the cronos story:

Cronos eating his children is like epoch and death,
the regurgitaton as anticipated final resurrection.
