regarding the Rainbow, and its constituents, namely Mr. Morris.

[Bled Welder]

Do you know what mildly interests me about you Mr. Morris?

I think that, as a quality of character, about you, that this is fairly
compatitble with genuine curiosity, which I'm about to approach--

You are a Rainbow scholar.  I've heard some of your opinions, and I respect
your opinions.  In fact as far as I remember I may as well as agree with
them.  Your opinions of Rainbow are well thought and profound and I believe
they have a resonance of truth about them that anyone who disagrees should
tread very carefully with you.

But you don't like Pynchon's other work.  And this *too* is fine, I reckon.
 While I don't personally care for parsing out what's-what in
Pynchonlandonianiequalimonium--Pynchon is Pynchon, to me--I can very much
understand your view.

And I should, before I say anything else, I want you to know, that I have *
always* dug you.  I still do.  You are Humphrey Bogart in a tutu.  "Just
the facts."  It's frikkin awesome.

But the thing is, and I say this because I know it's a *real* good point,
and I know others will see it too and begin to understand it.  Which is
what I'm trying to do, my friend.  The thing *is*:

Your personality, in my opinion, is in distinct contradisctinction to the *
spirit* of the Rainbow.  How can this *be?*
