Notes to part three

This is a conflation of the minotaur in the labyrinth, the Golden Calf, and the cow referred to in Jeremiah. "Harder than spittle" refers to the sense of shame, as when one is spat on. "Softer than flame" refers to the beguiling amorphousness of flame, its malleability, which belies its destructive power.

Notes to part four (A)

A sort of summary, up to this point. Identification of the churning questioner with the minotaur/calf figure.
