( three conjoined lakes called Omega, Ozero, and Zero )
three-fold Cells (or O's) interlinked
"Ozero, oblako, bashnya" (“Cloud, Castle, Lake") published in 1937
literally: (lake, cloud, tower) [Lac, nuage, tour]
0zero == 00 == lemniscate == The infinity symbol ∞
( & butterfly, from Rober Alter, [Partial Magic] )
( Joyce wouldn't have missed the opportunity to
make a pun/link with Null-Null (German toilet sign). )
then "Ozero, oblako, Tower" sounds like
[infinite, blanko Tower]
like the Tall white tower that Shade and Jung saw.
Infinitly suggests infinitely interlinked cells.

Thank you so much.
Immediately, I had many vague hard-to-write-out reactions.
then, the next day, I had 3 mini- Aha moments.
[Give me now Your full attention.] --- I hear this in VN's voice,
and i don't know why he's telling us this.
it is out of place, in the flow of narration.
it is out of place, in the march of rhymed couplets.
ka-thump, ka-thump ........ ka-thump, ka-thump
a-a, b-b, ........ c-c, d-d
it is out of place, dangling in the middle of the page.
The [Give me now] rhymes with [how] below.
[Your full attention.] matches
[Conclusive destination] in the prev. line
But if [Your full attention.] is taken to lack
a matching [...tion] at the end of a line,
Then I can derive logical satisfaction from the [satisfaction]
in the note.
