"Mean or not, he hadn't cried about it for a long time." (VL,
Ch. 4, p. 39) Callback to Mr. Wheeler's dream album, Not Too Mean to
Cry. (Id. at 36) This also begins our trip back out of the past to
reality with an artistic stop from the morning with Ms. Prairie. "Now
and then, when moon, tides, and planetary magnetism were all in tune, he
went venturing out, straight up through the third eye in his forehead,
into an extraordinary system of transport whereby he could go gliding
right to wherever she was. . . ." (Id. at 39)
