GRGR 1.2

[Glenn Scheper]

In Gerontion T.S. Eliot repeats what I said about
merely saying Come versus impossible saying Fuck:

Signs are taken for wonders. "We would see a sign":
The word within a word, unable to speak a word,
Swaddled with darkness.

Does this not compare to Pirate's going out to visit
the St. James Adenoid in GR 1.2?

> the unmistakable smell of gas came to Pirate from
> a dark street lamp, and out of the fog ahead
> materialized a giant, organlike form.

We have for gas Rev.'s incense, which is and/or is
to be offered with the/ prayers of saints; We have
my intuition that Gk. luchnia, candlestick, properly
a support for an oil-lamp, is a vagina. We have a
battery of black references for vagina (dark lamp);
We have of Jesus that "he cometh with clouds", fog.

> Carefully, black-shod step by step,
> Pirate approached the thing.

If hand is a well known genital biblical euphemism,
and I say too, foot; then a shoe is his enclosure,
again, vagina; Compare that a sickle in a slipper
is a coitus symbol.

Some other dark insights are: The dark "glow" of a
Lesbian before I masturbated her. (She showed me to
use my thumb, like the story of a little Dutch boy.)

Another was when I would slip out from work at lunch
to read my first reference text, a bible dictionary.
I'd oogle the girls with coital intent, and, one day,
there was appearing out of nearly every woman, some
black triangle, 90 degree angle towards the right,
and hypotenuse on the lady, like an intrusion into
this apparent world righty out of her hyperworld.

Another was when I saw a slight black sine wave
superimposed over the steel rod of my barbell:
A rod of iron, a legacy of blood, and of woman.

Plus all the usual yin/yang light/dark contrasts.

> It began to slide forward to meet him,
> over the cobblestones slow as a snail,
> leaving behind some slime brightness of street-wake
> that could not have been from fog.

This reminds me of some juvenile joke, whick luckily
I do not remember, comparing a legless lady to a slug.

> It was a giant Adenoid. At least as big as St. Paul's

I take this to be a reference to the well-known apostle.
What was it that caused him his blindness? An adenoid?

> This lymphatic monster had once blocked the
> distinguished pharynx of Lord Blatherard Osmo,

I see Lord, a reference to maleness with some more
specific tantric implications, t.b.d. I see blatherer,
which is to speak nonsense profusely. Of all things
surely incommunicable, is the opposite sex's orgasm.
I see osmosis, suggesting transfer across a membrane.

> Though he was able to develop a pidgin by which he
> and the Adenoid could communicate, unfortunately he
> wasn't nasally equipped to make the sounds too well,
> and it got to be an awful chore.

This resembles that same lament of Eliot in Gerontion,
a sense that for all I do, this just ain't "gettin it".

> "Got it in Hampstead Heath,
> just sitting breathing,
> like ...

> going in,
> and out ..."

Yeah, like an In-n-Out burger, a happy meal.

> the balloon rises into the teal-blue daybreak.

Let me tell you about the new movie I just saw,
A History of Violence. The main male has a chin
so hypertrophied that it is "cut"--There is a
depression in the midst of the chin muscle bump.

He's utmost respectable, but with a past, like in
Gerontion, that violation that makes us so lawful.

I sometimes see light effects accompanying movies,
which I propose are real light effects due to the
tantric acts of the actors. I don't know if these
effects are just in my mind, or on the video tape.

They say a strange black X flashed across Cheney's
face in the news. I once saw a white underscored
X flash across a movie when Hitler appeared. I had
a video tape of Jaqueline .... (french dancer with
the bananna belt) that after multiple replays with
AF, gained a dashed black line between her feet.

Anyway, several of the close-ups of that male had
effects: One, was a white circle, say 1/4 of the
screen height; Another time, when he had to tell
a bald-face lie to his wife, a black circle with
a white rim. Most remarkable in this movie, when
she found out the truth of his past, appeared as
it were a shattered mask of white shards around
and over her face, like a broken vessel or mirror.

Anyway, a ballon rises reminds me of those things.
Reminds me too of "fruit of sodom" said to appear
like a fruit but that when it is touched is empty,
or vanishing or something, maybe like a dandelion.

Now teal-blue has got to do with little boy blue,
"come blow your horn", a definite male AF color.
Whereas Humpty Dumpty is about clearly about AF
and its metamorphosis, Jack and Jill is probably
plain old sex, and that monad Little Miss Muffet
suggests that the spider is her own pussy. Auden
tying spiders to octopi extend that, soon in GR.

I feel this ballon is what rises into the AF mouth.

> Each morning Lord Blatherard Osmo must put on his bowler,
> and take his briefcase out to the Adenoid to make his daily demarche.
> It is taking up so much of his time he's begun to neglect Novi Pazar,

That sure sounds like a female companion to me; the
briefcase is his tool, wherein are his texts, words.

> was still a croix mystique on the palm of Europe,

http://palmistry.findyourfate.com/palmistry-handmarks.htm

Crosses always denote troubles, disappointment, danger,
and when found on lines, the harm to the bearer may be
aggravated as the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ.
Occasionally it can refer to a dramatic change in one's life
due to a crisis or hardship. They should always be considered
an ill omen save for two cases: when found on the Mount of
the Jupiter and when located between the Head and Heart lines,
known as the "Croix Mystique". The bearer of such a symbol
is purported to possess a greater degree of mystic...

> the Firm was allowing Pirate only tiny homeopathic doses of peace,

In Homeopathy, one administers a poison that would cause
the same symptoms as caused by the illness to be treated.
So, this peace, a poison, keeps up Pirate's defenses.
Sounds like my times of turpor, desiring stimulation.

The Firm suggests to me "the law" (of the Jews). Does Pirate
contrast with Slothrop as priest/prophet versus a pagan mage?
Pirate certainly possesses discourse to accompany intercourse.

BTW good catches - worth a skim:
