Thanks for this, Eileen. A fitting choice for a Pynchon fan. We all miss Dave terribly.

Dave chose this text for the back side of his funeral prayer card.  He picked an image of St. Michael the Archangel for the front, specifically Guido Reni’s Michael tramples Satan.
“Follow the bouncing ball:
There is a Hand to turn the time,Though thy Glass today be run,Till the Light hath brought the Towers lowFind the last poor Preterite one . . .Till the Riders sleep by ev’ry road,All through our crippl’d Zone,With a face in ev’ry MountainsideAnd a Soul in ev’ry stone . . .

Now Everybody —“
—Thomas Pynchon (1973)
