ATDTDA (21): He sees her point, 577-580 - Python reference

[Mr Haney]

>Paul Nightingale:>The dream with which Hunter starts 'places' him in London, erasing his part>in earlier sections of the novel; subsequently, one might ask if it is>indeed his 'own' dream, just as, in the previous section, his "young, almost>adolescent face" is juxtaposed to "gray, nearly white [hair]" (576). Then,>having name-dropped WG Grace (577), he goes on to mention "eminent ghosts,>Turner and Whistler, Ruskin, Browning sorts of chap" (578, the association>with predecessor artists perhaps more obvious than the inclusion in that>list of the poet).** had forgotten just who W G Grace was, checked Wikipedia again
-- he was a famed cricketeer, of course
(and in case new people wanted to look at a really interesting
article about cricket in AtD, check 
http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cricket_in_Against_the_Day )
 
but also found this suggestive fact:
Grace's portrait was used as the face of God 
in the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail (voiced by Graham Chapman).
