In the first 7 paragraphs especially
--but also thru'out the text--
JJ has conflated
Lawrence Sterne
Lawrence O'Toole
Tristram de St Lawrence*
and Lawrence County, GA
so that they form some kinda
mystical
unity
so, of course,
there's another Dublin
in Lawrence County, GA
of course

Anudder synchro-mesh -- I just looked at EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU
on HBO a few nights ago
Also the Tempio we're reading about seems full of sea-gods. A book called
THE STONES OF RIMINI attributes this to Sigismundo's
facination with the philosopher Gemiso Plethon
See opening of Canto 83 |

Consider halley's comet --
If we "know" anything about it, we "know" its periodicity, a space-time structure
defined by newton's equations which seem isomorphic to
the phenomena.
Or a map of U.S. showing 3 cities in this order
LOS ANGELES BOSTON DENVER
NOT isomorphic to terrritory.
Second map
LOS ANGELES DENVER BOSTON
does seem isomorphic.
As Kung said "to know what precedes and what
follows aids your comprehension of Dao" [processing]. |

Mike Horowitz, Leary's archivist, believes or once believed
that THE WIZARD OF OZ foretells Tim's whole career....
The only details I remember: Tim = the Wiz,
Kansas = Harvard,
acid = cyclone,
L5 = Oz,
wicked witch = CIA..... |

Interestin pernt -- both Ez & JJ wrote some of their best lines about the sea....
Both JJ's first book [Chamber Music] and his last [FW] end with sea imagery and the saal-women or sea-hags.....
who also appear in wot EZ originally intended as the first Canto
Fascinatin'.... |

The Japanese govt. thought so highly of Fenollosa's work
that they buried him in a grove reserved for
national heroes
after he wuz dead of course
Ez has had a lot of japanese poets
in his fan club for 70 years now
i don't know wot this "proves"
but it seems relevant |

Achilles Fang of Harvard preferred Ez's
translations of Chinese texts to more
traditional versions
Daniell Colye who recently got a Ph.d. in
Chinese language and literature likes Pounds's
translation of Dao as "the process" better than earlier
attempts but thinks "'process" alone even better
I don't know enough to venture an opinion  |
