TPPM _The Gift_: Sentence 1: "Camelot"

[Glenn Scheper]

http://www.pynchon.pomona.edu/uncollected/gift.html

I remember being only a pipsqeak, when movies were 35 cents,
that for a double feature, being left to watch many matinees
one hot summer, and one in particular left its impress on my
imagination: There was this american looking hero, in scanty
mid-eastern/genie attire, and men were jumping out of vases,
and there were sword fights up and down stairs, and through
arabesque courtyards. And near the end, I remember that hero
dashing off on some long solitary horse ride, and at the very
end, he is alone, and holding up a single red rose, adoringly.

Whatever that movie was named, *THAT* must have been Camelot.

That resembles courtly love, unrequited. That highlights an
abject man who adopts his fetish and renounces the hegemony.
Here we have Christ willingly becoming the one taboo totem.

Now in my space, I find that a Walter Mitty detachement and
attachment to a private Wonderland of mentation and lust is
the only affordable Camelot, the only place I may be a king.
But I read, probably in an article on Clinton as narcissist,
lacking somatic markers, so that he ratiocinates endlessly;
that Clinton was an intern to J.F.K., in a kind of Camelot.

BTW: "Dark Age of Camelot" is a roleplaying game, camping
on the topic with prolix apparent facts, confusing surfing.

 Guenevere, Merlin, Galahad, Excalibur, the Holy Grail

_Camelot & Arthurian Legend_

 Camelot was the most famous castle in the medieval legends
 of King Arthur, and where, according to legend, he reigned
 over Briton before the Saxon conquest. At Camelot Arthur
 established a brilliant court and seated the greatest and
 most chivalrous warriors in Europe, the Knights of the Round
 Table. Camelot was the starting point of the Quest for the
 Holy Grail, and by the 1200's, it came to symbolize the
 center of the Arthurian world.
