Why NOT "A screaming comes across the sky"?

[Steven]

	Well, I see what you mean -- I have a bad habit of exaggerating to  
make a point.  Even the author who consistently leaves me disaffected  
(John Barth) after a hot streak...I have a hard time breaking away  
from.  I'll put up with a lot of authorial abuse before disillusion  
becomes cemented in place.  In the case of Pynchon, I don't think  
that'll ever happen.  I remain sanguine about AtD.
