the title has always evoked the title finnegans wake in my mind another  
book which opens with dreaming, references to the "first" rainbow  
presented to Noah (Rot a peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by  
arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the  
aquaface), sky-screaming  
(bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhouna 
wnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!) and a guy falling and crashing (The  
great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute  
of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself  
prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his  
tumptytumtoes)
