[Ya Sam]

to Pynchon in this sentence from Lempriere's Dictionary

'The details of the buildings seemed to blur and the downpour replaced them 
with wretched waterfalls and fountains, broken pipes and seeping minarets; 
templates of appeasement to the preterite, just the weather again to the 
elect for the sky absolves nothing of course". (134)
