There is something else here that caught my attention this time, though, relating to another thread on M. 
Bottom of pg 62, "...an impassioned, young-enough Fool willing to sail oceans and fight sea-battles just to have a chance to watch Venus, Love Herself, pass across the Sun...."
Maybe by observing Venus, he will gain some understanding about love. He is desperate for this understanding.
