For me so far Pynchon's use of  the phrase "[fill in blank] the day"
is so ubiquitous that it begins to feel very strained and looses
relevance.  I started to write the different uses of "*blank* the day"
but stopped early on.

But at least one of the meanings that seem relevant and atypical is
the sense of opposition to the day (light).
