Pawner versus Pawnee
A music producer pawns his current drum device
and acquires a demonic 1970s machine.

This post was suggested by a remark made during the filming
of "Edge of Tomorrow," by a Log24 post on the new Nolan film
about Oppenheimer, and by the work of a different Edge:
"… a reality that only my notes can provide."
— Kinbote in Nabokov's novel Pale Fire

From a college botany laboratory in the 1915
D. H. Lawrence novel The Rainbow —
"Suddenly she had passed away into
an intensely-gleaming light of knowledge."
A later passage in the same novel, under
a metaphorical Tree of Life —
"She passed away as on a dark wind, far, far away,
into the pristine darkness of paradise, into the original
immortality. She entered the dark fields of immortality."

The Turn of the Frame
"With respect to the story's content, the frame thus acts
both as an inclusion of the exterior and as an exclusion
of the interior: it is a perturbation of the outside at the
very core of the story's inside, and as such, it is a blurring
of the very difference between inside and outside."
— Shoshana Felman on a Henry James story, p. 123 in
"Turning the Screw of Interpretation,"
Yale French Studies No. 55/56 (1977), pp. 94-207.
Published by Yale University Press.

Easter Footnote
A search from Easter 2013 for "Cremona synthemes" * —
For some strictly mathematical background, see
Classical Geometry in Light of Galois Geometry.
* For more about Cremona and synthemes,
see a 1975 paper by W. L. Edge,

The Screwing
"Debates about canonicity have been raging in my field
(literary studies) for as long as the field has been
around. Who's in? Who's out? How do we decide?"
— Stephen Ramsay, "The Hermeneutics of Screwing Around"
An example of canonicity in geometry—
"There are eight heptads of 7 mutually azygetic screws, each consisting of the screws having a fixed subscript (from 0 to 7) in common. The transformations of LF(4,2) correspond in a one-to-one manner with the even permutations on these heptads, and this establishes the isomorphism of LF(4,2) and A8. The 35 lines in S3 correspond uniquely to the separations of the eight heptads into two complementary sets of 4…."
— J.S. Frame, 1955 review of a 1954 paper by W.L. Edge,
"The Geometry of the Linear Fractional Group LF(4,2)"
