More Against the Day

[Joseph T]

  I don't get why it's being called Against the Days with  a plural   
rather than the Singular Day as appears on Amazon etc. Part of why  
I'm asking is that while my first thought was of the Biblical use of  
the  phrase and I think that is the most obvious reference, the  
phrase might also be taken in the direction of "opposing the light" .  
This would fit with Pychon's investigation of those who cloak  
themselves in secrecy, support the workings of imperial ambition, and  
posit themselves as tools of the manifest greater destiny. The time  
period is certainly the era when America clearly takes on  
international imperial appetites.
