ATDTDA - petroleurs, p.19

[pynchonoid]

James Hillman - blurbed by Pynchon, by the way - has
written about this difference, in one of his later
books, maybe  The Soul's Code: In Search of Character
and Calling. I also recommend his books ReVisioning
Psychology, and Animal Dreams.

Monte:
[...] I should have made it clearer, but in Welty's
context it's clear the phrase
is not so much (or exclusively) being physically
absent as what we might
call today not "being there for" someone -- you can be
present and not
engage emotionally, not be a "living presence" to
their l.p. -- IOW, a
failure of love. [...]

A very confusing situation for the child.
