(urth) Urth & Earth (was "Travelling North aka miscellaneous thoughts on Wolfe")

[James Wynn]

On the other hand, it is possible for a "Catholic Church" to have been 
established in the Commonwealth without a Jesus (complete with crosses) 
merely in correspondence to the vibrations of our Universe, just as in 
Green's dimension (There Are Doors) grooms wear black at weddings only 
because they do it in Lara's dimension.

In that case, the Chapter is a parody of an echo. But somehow I find 
that less satisfying.
