            celibataires, meme, or The Bride Stripped Bare by Her
            Bachelors, Even. Note the "Even." This sly adverb, thrown

            endless analysis. One explanation is that it should be read as
            a pun on "m'aime," meaning "loves me"--that is to
           <mez> say, the bride being stripped by these anonymous
            bachelors really loves Marcel Duchamp. The tribe can't resist
            looking for clues to the man in such discoveries, but

            no meaning whatsoever, that it was just "fun and poetry in my
            own way," that "the word meme came to me
           <mez> without even looking for it." It was simply a humorous
            aside, something like the "already" in "enough, already."

    [1251] <mez> The mechanico-erotic language of the notes on the bride
            has no visual counterpart in The Large Glass itself. In fact,
            the upper glass panel that is the bride's domain
           <mez> shows nothing that even remotely suggests female anatomy,
            clothed or unclothed. What we see instead is a group of
            abstract, vaguely insectile shapes on the
           <mez> left-hand side, connected to a large cloudlike form that
            stretches all the way across the top. Each element on the left
            has a name, although even today, after seventy

            pendu femelle, a decidedly unglamorous term
           <mez> meaning "hanging female object"; close examination
            shows that it does indeed hang from a painted hook at the top
            of the Glass.
