Curious to-ing and fro-ing seems to come issuing in and
out, like the surf, with these two yiddish-isms. One suggests
a narrowing down through a tight squeeze, the other, an
inevitable broadening into chaos and confusion.
They remind me of the inverse relationship between
differentiation and integration. Interesting, as well, that
both terms mediate formal as well as informal meanings
in Yiddish. I think I could riff on all these various aspects
with respect to the current chapter, and, the novel as a
whole, but I'm a little pressed for time, at the moment.
Maybe later.
Peaceful holidays to all,
respectfully
