VLVL2 (2) Notes and commentary, p14

[Dave Monroe]

Excelklent observation here, by the way.  I suspect
that many Pynchonian scenes are tracings from others. 
Here, the reference is almost generic, and immediately
recognizable as such, but I recall Keith's obs. about
Lord 'n' Lady Lepton vis a vis The Cymical Wedding of
Christian Rosenkreuz ...

Somebody, maybe Jules Siegel's ex-wife, somebody along
those lines, somewhere made a point about Pynchon's
pervasive use of such schemes ...
