P 1054
"baloney sandwich", nothing on the radio and the light draining away...'heated quiescence"....Objective correlative of Lake's state of mind, so seemingly offhandedly done. Then:

Unhappy Lake gives up a belief in cause and effect?!  Remember the same thought---from Slotrop? in GR?  Mixing 'reality' and a (depressed?) dream state. [Mixing memory and desire--Eliot]. Compassionately, she sees Deuce as Unawakened from his life...caught in his 'desires'
ala the non-enlightened in Buddhism? Ala the psychologically stupid in Western parlance?
