I've found something
I was reading over the 10 Questions to Michael Snow again for the sake of question two (I've been skipping around, I did one first and then skipped to three because I had to do it at work), and in the process of doing so, I found a meaning for myself in Wavelength. Granted, much like when I had to read Piers Plowman last semester, finding meaning for it did not make it enjoyable--but it did make it less infuriating. I'm not good at "figuring stuff out" when it comes to meaning, and I doubt I could really back this up to the point that Dr. Foys wouldn't rhetorically ask "Ah-ha is it really...?" But it contents me. And when it comes to Wavelength, anything that brings some modicum of peace is terrifically well-received!
