Speculations on the origins and activities of Humphrey are discussed by a variety of persons. The narrative slides backward and forward in history, as usual. Anna Livia Plurabelle begins to enter the text in a variety of guises. Also, the introduction of a letter is brought into the text.
In this section, the individual sentences seem to make sense, but do not build upon each other in any sort of logical fashion. This is an interesting effect, if disoritenting. I like the word "myrrhmyrrhs" (murmurs). Such a word (one of many) really takes you around the corner and back in a short number of letters.
I am beginning to formulate a philosophy of flexibility relative to spelling and syntax on the basis of this book and Chaucer. Limiting spelling and syntax limits what we can think, limits us (perhaps).
