M & D cont.

[Mark Kohut]

I think Wind, as an associative trope is used more in M & D than in some others.

I do not think, yet, it carries much connotation of "divine
afflatus"....whirlwind as god..
I think, as in the ocean crossing it blows gothically over the great
oceanic unknown...
I think it is often the 'wind of the future' as the beating waves are
always bringing us
back to the past....

At one level I suggest Pynchon 'sez' that Gatsbyian ending has been
there from the beginning
of the country--and before.
