GR translation: here and there peeling firmament

[Mike Jing]

V19.8-16, P19.25-33   The stars pasted up on Slothrop’s map cover the
available spectrum, beginning with silver (labeled “Darlene”) sharing a
constellation with Gladys, green, and Katharine, gold, and as the eye
strays Alice, Delores, Shirley, a couple of Sallys—mostly red and blue
through here—a cluster near Tower Hill, a violet density about Covent
Garden Garden, a nebular streaming on into Mayfair, Soho, and out to
Wembley and up to Hampstead Heath—in every direction goes this glossy,
multicolored, here and there peeling firmament, Carolines, Marias, Annes,
Susans, Elizabeths.

Does this mean some of the pasted stars are peeling off?
