The ZMM Narrator Again Uses A Master Motif =>
….“The Cold Wind Comes Down the Mountainside. .“

….“When we come down to the living room I can smell the aroma from the frying trout in the kitchen. At one end of the room DeWeese is bent over the fireplace holding a match to some newspaper under the kindling. We watch him for a while.
.... ‘We use this fireplace all summer long,’ he says.
.... I reply, ‘I’m surprised it’s this cold.’
.... Chris says he’s cold too. I send him back up for his sweater and mine as well.
.... ‘It’s the evening wind,’ DeWeese says. ‘It sweeps down the canyon from up high where it’s really cold.’
.... The fire flares suddenly and then dies and then flares again from an uneven draft. It must be windy, I think, and look through the huge windows that line one wall of the living room. Across the canyon in the dusk I see the sharp movement of the trees.
.... ‘But that’s right,’ DeWeese says. ‘You know how cold it is up there. You used to spend all your time up there.’
.. ‘It brings back memories,’ I say. .. A single fragment comes to mind now of night winds all around a campfire, smaller than this one before us now, sheltered in the rock against the high wind because there are no trees.“ (Continued next.)

DeWeese Home, Gallatin Gateway, MT. While in this area I (Henry Gurr, June 23 2002), did experience the cold and need for a fire.
….However, I did not notice any wind. Perhaps the strong winds come from new cold fronts, which did NOT happen while I was there.

….Which Continues With Assembly Of Rotisserie Or Bicycle =>
…. “But if you have to choose among an infinite number of ways to put it together then the relation of the machine to you, and the relation of the machine and you to the rest of the world, has to be considered, because the selection from many choices, the art of the work is just as dependent upon your own mind and spirit as it is upon the material of the machine. That’s why you need the peace of mind." And Late, After All The Guests Have Left =>
…. “After the party is over and the Sutherlands and Chris have gone to bed, DeWeese recalls my lecture, however. He says seriously, "What you said about the rotisserie instructions was interesting."
....Gennie adds, also seriously, "It sounded like you had been thinking about it for a long time."

…. "Analytic reason, dialectic reason. Reason which at the University is sometimes considered to be the whole of understanding. You’ve never had to understand it really. It’s always been completely bankrupt with regard to abstract art. Nonrepresentative art is one of the root experiences I’m talking about. Some people still condemn it because it doesn’t make ‘sense.’ But what’s really wrong is not the art but the ‘sense,’ the classical reason, which can’t grasp it. People keep looking for branch extensions of reason that will cover art’s more recent occurrences, but the answers aren’t in the branches, they’re at the roots."
….“A rush of wind comes furiously now, down from the mountaintop. "The ancient Greeks," I say, "who were the inventors of classical reason, knew better than to use it [classical reason] exclusively to foretell the future. …They listened to the wind and predicted the future from that…. That sounds insane now. But why should the inventors of reason sound insane?" .
….DeWeese squints. "How could they tell the future from the wind?"
…. "I don’t know, maybe the same way a painter can tell the future of his painting by staring at the canvas. Our whole system of knowledge stems from their results. We’ve yet to understand the methods that produced these results." (Continued next.)

… “.I think for a while, then say, "When I was last here, did I talk much about the Church of Reason?" ..
… "Yes, you talked a lot about that. …. The rhetoricians of ancient Greece were the first teachers in the history of the Western world. Plato vilified them in all his works to grind an axe of his own and since what we know about them is almost entirely from Plato they’re unique in that they’ve stood condemned throughout history without ever having their side of the story told. The Church of Reason that I talked about was founded on their graves. It’s supported today by their graves. And when you dig deep into its foundations you come across ghosts."
….I look at my watch. It’s after two. "It’s a long story," I say. "“
…. “ ‘You should write all this down,’ Gennie says. .. I nod in agreement. "I’m thinking about a series of lecture-essays...a sort of Chautauqua. I’ve been trying to work them out in my mind as we rode out here—which is probably why I sound so primed on all this stuff. It’s all so huge and difficult. Like trying to travel through these mountains on foot. ”.
... “The trouble is that essays always have to sound like God talking for eternity, and that isn’t the way it ever is. People should see that it’s never anything other than just one person talking from one place in time and space and circumstance. It’s never been anything else, ever, but you can’t get that across in an essay." .
... "You should do it anyway," Gennie says. "Without trying to get it perfect." .. "I suppose," I say. “
….“ DeWeese asks, "Does this tie in with what you were doing on ‘Quality’?"
.... "It’s the direct result of it," I say.
.. .. I remember something and look at DeWeese. "Didn’t you advise me to drop it?"
.... "I said no one had ever succeeded in doing what you were trying to do."
.. .. "Do you think it’s possible?"
.... "I don’t know. Who knows?" His expression is really concerned. "A lot of people are listening better these days. Particularly the kids. They’re really listening—and not just at you...to you—to you. It makes all the difference.
….The wind coming down from the snowfields up above sounds for a long time throughout the house. It grows loud and high as if in hope of sweeping the whole house, all of us, away into nothing, leaving the canyon as it once was, but the house stands and the wind dies away again, defeated. Then it comes back, feinting a light blow from the far side, then suddenly a heavy gust from our side.
.... "I keep listening to the wind," I say. I add, "I think when the Sutherlands have left, Chris and I should do some climbing up to where that wind starts. I think it’s time he got a better look at that land.“ (Continued next.)

In the ABOVE passage => “essays always have to sound like God talking for eternity .... “
….The Narrator recognizes the religious tendency for human authored text to be adopted as the voice of God, or to over idealize the author.
…. In above ZMM Passage, what the ZMM Narrator is telling us an important message =>
….The Tendency To Over “Idolize” A Human Author Is Very True For All Of Us.
….And in fact despite my knowing the Narrator’s above warnings, I (Henry Gurr) for many-a-year, managed to forget that Robert Pirsig was just another human (like all the rest of us), and did exactly over “idolize”.

The Road Back To Bozeman.

…. “ … and then it’s time for John and Sylvia to turn back home. We ride into Bozeman from the canyon now, together for the last time. Up ahead Sylvia’s turned around for the third time, evidently to see if we’re all right. She’s been very quiet the last two days. A glance from her yesterday seemed apprehensive, almost frightened. She worries too much about Chris and me."

After leaving DeWeese Home, just after South Cottonwood Road turns to Go Directly North, Gallatin Gateway, MT. As we will see later in ZMM (both Parts III & IV) => Sylvia's very real & continuing worries are well founded.
….The ZMM Narrator, to increase our appreciation of his troubles throughout ZMM, keeps dropping these small and large warnings foreshadowing imminent disaster.
….Of course, this is also a mark of a good story-teller, because it keeps us worrying what’s going to happen! A Cliff Hanger!!

….MYSTICAL, POSSIBLY SPIRITUAL FORCES, CAUSED CHRIS & NARRATOR TO “[Not] Go To Sleep, But Instead A Restless Feeling Hits. I Get Up
…. The ZMM Book Enthusiast, reading the above, =>
…. “A transparent-winged bug sets down … by Chris’s foot ..." =>.
……. Should pause to wonder WHY this passage is there, since there are NO Useless, Wasted Words in ZMM!
..A) Of Course, the lazy resting bug, flexing wings, adds to the realism of the lazy day mood of Chris and Narrator. And thus is
..B) Good storytelling, and this may have actually happened here or some other part of Author Pirsig’s life.
..C) OR, THIS BUG PHRASE MAY BE LIKE THE PREVIOUS MASTER MOTIF => …. “In the distance a single bird cries plaintively.”
….AND THUS THIS IS TO ANNOUNCE, that Mystical, possibly Spiritual Forces, caused Chris & Narrator to “[not] go to sleep, but don’t. Instead a restless feeling hits. I get up "
..D) AND, now because of how this is presented to us (Like other similar MOTIFS), this passage is to be taken as a telegram => Foretelling That There Will be => A Powerful Unforgettable Series of Events, Which Are Fore-Announced In This One Innocent Looking Sentence.
…. In this case => The crucial Montana Hall scene which prompted the Narrator’s memory of Sarah and her key phrase “ Are you teaching Quality? ”
..E) Thus The Narrator’s Fore-Announces The Coming Powerful. Unforgettable Series of Events =>
…..”And that door leads to Sarah’s office. Sarah! Now it comes down! She came trotting by with her watering pot between those two doors, going from the corridor to her office, and she said, "I hope you are teaching Quality to your students." This in a la-de-da, singsong voice of a lady in her final year before retirement about to water her plants. That was the moment it all started. That was the seed crystal. ”
..F) This solid credit to Sarah, also is later in ZMM =>
…..” Sarah, who long before had come by with her watering pot and put the idea of Quality in his head, ” .
..G) So we see in ZMM, that the Narrator thrice credits Sarah for the whole idea of Quality, and thus in essence, Sarah is in reality the initial progenitor for the whole of the ZMM Book!
SUMMARY:
….The above => “A transparent-winged bug sets down … by Chris’s foot ..." =>. Should be taken as a telegram =>
…. Foretelling that => Important Momentous Discovery Events are just ahead! In this case, in Montana Hall, and the Discovery Of Crucial Memories => Of Sarah Vinke’s prompting Re Quality => “Are you teaching Quality?”

….EXPLANATION OF => [Phaedrus] “He’s walked through these streets many times. Lectures. He prepared his lectures in the peripatetic manner, using these streets as his academy. “
..A) Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
....Peripatetic > A disciple of Aristotle; an Aristotelian.
....Peripatetic > Of or pertaining to the philosophy taught by Aristotle,
……who gave his instructions while walking in the Lyceum at Athens,
……..[and gave] to his followers ."The true peripatetic school."
....Peripatetic > One who walks about; a pedestrian; an itinerant.
....Peripatetic > Walking about; itinerant.
..B) Excerpt From Wikipedia => Peripatetic School.
The Peripatetic school was a school of philosophy in Ancient Greece. Its teachings derived from its founder, Aristotle (384–322 BC), and peripatetic is an adjective ascribed to his followers.
….The school dates from around 335 BC when Aristotle began teaching in the Lycaeum. It was an informal institution whose members conducted philosophical and scientific inquiries. After the middle of the 3rd century BC, the school fell into a decline, and it was not until the Roman era that there was a revival.
HISTORY
....The term peripatetic is a transliteration of the ancient Greek word περιπατητικός (peripatētikós), which means "of walking" or "given to walking about".
….The Peripatetic school, founded by Aristotle,[2] was actually known simply as The Peripatos. Aristotle's school came to be so named because of the peripatoi ("walkways", some covered or with colonnades) of the Lyceum where the members met. The legend that the name came from Aristotle's alleged habit of walking while lecturing may have started with Hermippus of Smyrna.
....Unlike Plato (428/7–348/7 BC), Aristotle (384–322 BC) was not a citizen of Athens and so could not own property. He and his colleagues therefore used the grounds of the Lyceum as a gathering place, just as it had been used by earlier philosophers such as Socrates. Aristotle and his colleagues first began to use the Lyceum in this way about 335 BC, .. For Remainder of Wikipedia Article, Click Here.

…. “As a young man, Story started with nothing but his energy, strong will, intelligence and fearlessness. He came out to the wild West and in 1863 made a fortune in Montana’s gold rush.
.... He parlayed that into a famous cattle drive from Texas to Montana, which a century later would inspire author Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel “Lonesome Dove” + Very Successful Television Miniseries!
....Nelson Story settled in the fledgling outpost of Bozeman when its namesake, John Bozeman, was still roving the town…”.. [Skip 11 Paragraphs Re Nelson Story exploits & successes, and read the following => ]
.... “Even [Nelson Story’s] … grandson, the late Malcolm Story , knew little first-hand. Malcolm said in a taped lecture that he was just a kid when Nelson was in his 70s or 80s. Most of what Malcolm learned came from his father, Thomas Byron Story.
....Yet Malcolm’s vivid stories, collected on CDs in MSU’s special collections, are consistent as he told and retold them.
....Phyllis Smith, author of “Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley: A History,” spent many hours listening to her neighbor Malcolm’s tales as he sat at her dining room table, across the street from the pink house where he [Malcom Story] lived on South Willson Avenue. Later she would check out his facts......“Everything he said was true,” Smith said.

…. “" The crushing teaching load was bad enough, but what for him was far worse was that he understood in his precise analytic way that the subject he was teaching was undoubtedly the most unprecise, unanalytic, amorphous area in the entire Church of Reason. That’s why he was thinking so hard. To a methodical, laboratory-trained mind, rhetoric is just completely hopeless. It’s like a huge Sargasso Sea of stagnated logic “

Montana Hall Is ”Old Main”, at the Campus Center.

….“There it is up ahead. Tension hits, the same stomach feeling, as we walk toward it. .. "Do you remember that building?" .. "That’s where you used to teach — why are we going here?" .. "I don’t know. I just wanted to see it." .. Not many people seem to be around. There wouldn’t be, of course. Summer session is on now.“

Montana Hall, Montana State University, .Bozeman, MT. As had been my practice since ~1978, every time I was near a bookstore, especially educational institutions, I would look to see how many copies of ZMM Book, were on their shelves. Typically there would be at least one.
….Thus, on my own visit to campus, I had gone to the Montana State University Bookstore to learn how much ZMM was used in Classes at the University. I found two copies in the Bookstore Philosophy Section. A very helpful MSU student employee, Diana, looked up the store records for the years 1999 and 2001. She found that some 100 copies of ZMM were ordered for student purchases in their Engineering and Architecture courses.
….I also asked her about “"that house with the funny roof.“. She suggested a Pink and Dark Maroon house on Willson Street. which had belonged to the Mr. ?Nelson? Story Family. Pay-Dirt !!!
…. I failed to follow up on this until today (25 Apr 05), when I occurred to me to ask Google about …."Pink House" +"Bozeman MT…..Thanks to Diana at the Bookstore, for her help & clues that lead to the Pink House Photo two pics back!!
