More Backhoeing of Deep Pynchon, maybe. T.S. Eliot connections

[Mark Kohut]

>From my amateur studies so far, i'd bet that when TRP got hooked on Eliot,
he followed a lot of links, so to speak. We saw a very probable source in Eliot for the conception, part of the conception, of the Tristero. 

Eliot wrote about Tournier and the Jacobeans. maybe TRP discovered them thru T. S. Eliot? (we used to call him T.ough S.hit Eliot where I went to school. What wits we were....)

There are other links, maybe.

Which is all prolegomena to saying: I have received two books by Simone Weil. One "Gravity & Grace" 'cause they are clear Pynchon words. Gonna plumb.
The other is called "The Need for Roots", which I got 'cause I have argued that this concept is a key (half)-hidden deep value of Pynchon's (by the words alone). Gonna plumb.

Anyway, if you've read this far, As Robin is always sayin', "The Need for Roots" has an intro by T.S.
