His RETURN, no deposit no return, while not quite a Reversible (more
akin to Teilhard de Chardin's No Return, his physical journey or
return to his native lands, is a figurative progress; What
distinguishes William is not his physical movements so much as his
spiritial one. The questions he raises, and, more importantly, the
fact that he, a powerful and important man, but still a relatively
"unlettered" man, when he is juxtaposed with those who find him guilty
of (we might call it a sin or we might call it treason) writing a book
that looks too deeply and darkly into the mysteries of the Father &
Son, and specifically the the Passion and how Christ's sufferings, for
TULIPs, is to be read by the congregation, are a Return to Earth.
Beautiful stuff from young Tom.
