Jr has always had a little blue streak in him. The conclusion of this trilogy--& numerology is important here, think Dante's Paradiso--finally focuses solely on that sadness. Here, Religion is the immortal science, a (meta)metaphysic: God, thru his Protean Love, gives one the Will to clear the fog of Misery, to open your eyes, and to see that people--me, for instnce--do still want you around.
