19880324.1207

The Vice at U~ is Lust*; and the archetypal object of it is, I suppose, the innocent girl, in some ways typified by xS, at R~, diametrically opposite to **U~ (cf. XL near the end of [2]).*** I hope to write my next**** fiction set at least partly in […], based on my own experiences there, when I was strongly attracted to […]. I have suddenly realised that this archetypal attraction – which (as I have already mentioned)# was, I believe, based on a dim awareness of the xS archetype – is an excellent thread for the book, which corresponds to the U~ position in the series (T.IV).#* How difficult!

This first circuit may not correspond so precisely (or exclusively) to my own life, although the archtypes do seem to fit rather well; there may have been a longer circuit in operation over the same 'cards' and principles, over my whole life up to the ending of both circles at Crisis (Cyrenians?)#**. But it is a good co-incidence that the second time I was strongly attracted to [her] was [...] towards the end of my time working in [the Accountants] in London, which roughly corresponds to my approach to the U~ point in my conception of future fictions loosely based on my own experience#*** (There is a lot of overlap expected there as things I did concurrently may be dealt with in consecutive books).

*A strange vice so near to Virgo.

****[next but one (or possibly two) (the ordering was slightly re-arranged) – see fn#* below]
