TRTR(2) Young George Washington

[Mark Kohut]

The woman as young George Washington--p'raps
that aforementioned Gertrude Stein allusion-----
stacks her drinks'saucers

like a tower, sez Gaddis.

Tower in Eliade, Yeats, others (& Golden Bough?) is
the highest artifact in a village---almost always pre-urban,it is the
spire of the church and THE main religious symbol so here

one might think Gaddis presents the parisian salon wherein
such as transition is read and art talk happens is the new
secular religion?     
 
Joyce was biggest name to appear; his first explicator, Stuart Gilbert,
who got to read Ulysses early in order to pony up the read and
transition distribution by Shakespeare & Co. which also pubbed Ulysses.
 
(and, say some, The Recognitions is Gaddis's Ulysses)

The image on the bill is of an older Washington. He dared the Ohio
country in his early 20s.
