Might have already been mentioned, but...
"So, yes yes this is a scholasticism here, Rocket state-cosmology . . . the
Rocket does lead that way—among others—past these visible serpent coils that
lash up above the surface of Earth in rainbow light, in steel tetany . . .
these storms, these things of Earth's deep breast we were never told . . .
past them, through the violence, to a numbered cosmos, a quaint
brownwood-paneled, Victorian kind of Brain War, as between quaternions and
vector analysis in the 1880s—the nostalgia of Aether, the silver,
pendulumed, stone-anchored, knurled-brass, fili-greed elegantly functional
shapes of your grandfathers."
