TRTR, Pt 2, C 2 "does there exist such a thing as mermaids, sar?"

[Mark Kohut]

emendation upon reading it yet again...
 
Fuller's faith is not so simple...."Oh no,s ar. It remain a temptation to believe"...
 
And Recktall is not so awful here.....genuinely trying to find out whether and how his
belief consoles him......

I have heard the mermaids calling each to each. ----Eliot
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

p. 346 Fuller.....explores the 'dialects' of religious belief.......

simple man of faith...dissed and 'refuted' by the awful Recktall.......
but in Fuller's arguments....."have you seen an octopus"...............
There has to be mahn mermaids............

I think we see Gaddis's non-belief......True?

And religious belief/dogma as a Gilbert & Sullivan light opera.......
