Not Pynchon but Dumbo

[Mark Kohut]

See what Burton hath wrought...so wonderfully

science replacing magic, self-allusions to Burton's nightmare landscapes
and dreamscapes,
Burton's Dickensian world, Hitchcockian-like horror and Shakespeare---esp
the Tempest, of course,
that play about Magic and Science.

And Mothers, the meaning of mothers.
How self-confidence comes from them, paradoxically.

I laughed, I cried; I cheered.

I wrote this.
