Symbolic Coastal Fog Hangs Over the California Coast. The Impenetrable Unknown Lies Beyond.
[All is lost! Phaedrus “time consciousness begins to go“. His mind either uncontrollably races or stagnates. Sleep dwindles to zero. Decisions become impossible. On a street corner he blanks out. We learn, in two pages how Phaedrus reaches his end. The Narrator finishes this section with:] “ A fragment comes and lingers from an old Christian hymn, "You’ve got to cross that lonesome valley." It carries him forward. "You’ve got to cross it by yourself." It seems a Western hymn that belongs out in Montana. .. "No one else can cross it for you," it says. It seems to suggest something beyond. "You’ve got to cross it by yourself." .. He crosses a lonesome valley, out of the mythos, and emerges as if from a dream, seeing that his whole consciousness, the mythos, has been a dream and no one’s dream but his own, a dream he must now sustain of his own efforts. Then even "he" disappears and only the dream of himself remains with himself in it.“(Cont.Next)
Old Costal Road 3 mi South of Klamath, CA. Note well: Whether we realize it or not, these last two sentences describing Phadrus’ plight, are what is true for all of us … exactly! This “dream” is all we have! And, push come to shove, we each must sustain it by our own efforts. We have no other choice.
