BtZ42 This aphorism I post during GR Read

[Mark Kohut]

Because of that moment in GR where Roger, who has NO 'beyond' experiences
does experience the transcendent 'magic' of Love as something Other beyond
the two involved.

The more I reread Pynchon, the more one finds such compression that carries
so much.
Whether he got it from Mann or not, doesn't matter....he has a mind full of
ideas felt
kaleidoscopically, compressed and used anew, so to speak.

It IS like what the most recent scholars of Shakespeare have been doing, in
finding notions, simple words and phrases from his Ovid, his Montaigne, his
English histories and reusing
in tangential ways.

“It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.” Thomas Mann's THE
MAGIC MOUNTAIN, 1st released today in 1927
