Several weeks back Michael Happy asked me if it would be possible to reconstruct a three\u2011dimensional diagram of Frye\u2019s Great Doodle, the intricate and grand schematic of the alphabet of forms that figured so importantly in his design for his aborted \u201cthird book.\u201d\u00a0 I replied that I didn\u2019t think so because it would be too complex.\u00a0 What is the Great Doodle?<\/p>\n

Frye writes at one point that he\u2019s not revealing what the Great Doodle is because he does not really know (CW 23, 76\u201377), but his frequent references to it reveal that it is primarily his symbolic shorthand for the monomyth. \u00a0Originally he conceived of the Great Doodle as \u201cthe cyclical quest of the hero\u201d (CW 9,<\/span> 214) or \u201cthe underlying form of all epics\u201d (CW 9,<\/span> 241). \u00a0But as he began to move away from strictly literary terms toward both religious language and the language of Greek myth and philosophy, another pattern developed, one with an east-west axis of Nous-Nomos and a north-south axis of Logos-Thanatos. \u00a0At this point the Great Doodle took on an added significance, becoming a symbolic shorthand for what he called the narrative form of the Logos vision: \u201cthe circular journey of the Logos from Father to Spirit\u201d (CW 9,<\/span> 260) or \u201cthe total cyclical journey of the incarnate Logos\u201d (CW 9, 201). \u00a0But the Great Doodle is never merely a cycle. \u00a0Its shape requires also the vertical axis mundi<\/em> and the horizontal axis separating the world of innocence and experience. \u00a0These axes, with their numerous variations, produce the four quadrants that are omnipresent in Frye\u2019s diagrammatic way of thinking. \u00a0In Notebook 7 he refers to the quadrants as part of the Lesser Doodle (CW 23, 76), meaning only that the quadrants themselves are insufficient to establish the larger geometric design of the Great Doodle.<\/p>\n

But the Great Doodle has still further elaborations. \u00a0In the extensive notes he made for his Norton Lectures at Harvard (The Secular Scripture<\/em>) Frye remarks self-referentially that in book 14 of Longfellow\u2019s Hiawatha<\/em> the heroine \u201cinvents picture-writing, including the Great Doodle of Frye\u2019s celebrated masterpieces.\u201d \u00a0The reference is to Hiawatha\u2019s painting on birch bark a series of symbolic and mystic images: the egg of the Great Spirit, the serpent of the Spirit of Evil, the circle of life and death, the straight line of the earth, and other ancestral totems in the great chain of being. Frye elaborates his Great Doodle in a similar way, the Hiawathan \u201cshapes and figures\u201d becoming for him points of epiphany at the circumference of the circle\u2013\u2013what he twice refers to as beads on a string (CW 9,<\/span> 241, 245). \u00a0The beads are various topoi and loci along the circumferential string. They can be seen as stations where the questing hero stops in his journey or as the cardinal points of a circle. \u00a0Frye even overlays one form of the Logos diagram with the eight trigrams of the I Ching<\/em>,<\/span> saying that they \u201ccan be connected with my Great Doodle\u201d (CW 9, 209), and one version of the Great Doodle recapitulates what he refers to throughout his notebooks as \u201cthe Revelation diagram,\u201d the intricately designed chart that he passed out in his course \u201cSymbolism in the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Great Doodle, then, is a representation, though a hypothetical one, that contains the large schematic patterns in Frye\u2019s memory theater: the cyclical quest with its quadrants, cardinal points, and epiphanic sites; and the vertical ascent and descent movements along the chain of being or the axis mundi. \u00a0It contains as well all the lesser doodles that Frye creates to represent the diagrammatic structure of myth and metaphor and that he frames in the geometric language of gyre and vortex, center and circumference.\u00a0 (See Michael Dolzani\u2019s exposition of the Great Doodle in his introduction to The \u201cThird Book\u201d Notebooks<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Frye drew scores of diagrams in his notebooks but never one for the Great Doodle.\u00a0 And, as I say, it seems practically impossible to in include all the features of Great Doodle in a single diagram, even a two\u2011dimensional one.\u00a0 But Michael Happy\u2019s question got me to thinking about Notebook 11f, which dates from 1969\u201370, where Frye toys with the idea of constructing a book of one hundred sections, which are clearly a part of the Great Doodle.\u00a0 Here are his initial musings about this scheme:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh, God, I could be ecstatically happy for years if I could work out the scheme of a 100-section book so that I could work on the total scheme in my head.\u00a0 In fact it would make me so happy that I\u2019ve simply got to have one.\u00a0 Question: will it be a real or simply a mnemonic one?\u00a0 Never mind that now.<\/p>\n

100 sections with an occult meaning for every damn one; patterns of repetition connecting them; climactic sequences 27\u201333, 60\u201366, 90\u201399; prime numbers after 50 perhaps philosophical.\u00a0 Odd numbers cyclical, especially 7, 11, 13 & 17; even numbers dialectic, especially 8 & 16; five & decimals mixed, that sort of thing.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t just<\/em> childish, either: Dante & Joyce do it.<\/p>\n

The scheme which is in the foreground just now is a ternary one.\u00a0 Perhaps the complete compass could repeat three times (i.e. twice).\u00a0 Two would be the conceptual & then the alchemic-turned-on-its-side process.\u00a0 So Eros might be the hortus conclusus in 27\u201333, the interpenetrating-mystical Plato business in 60\u201366, the Bardo world in 90\u201399.<\/p>\n

It probably won\u2019t work out, but God, it would be wonderful to have a scheme one could work on as women do with knitting.\u00a0 A hundred big filing cards, to be played with like a Tarot pack.\u00a0 Every other piece of writing I\u2019ve done has been a spider-string filament strung painfully from my own guts: a straight line in the work has been to keep it from becoming a web.\u00a0 A pattern sufficiently discontinuous\u2014oh, well, there\u2019s no point going on & on about it.\u00a0 Can I do it, & if I do will it be normal scholarship or specifically creative?\u00a0 Or is it only one of those creative farts I\u2019ve let from time to time?<\/p>\n

The reason for all this silly nonsense is that I have an idea for a long book on poetic imagery on a compass scheme, and an idea for a short book on the symbolism of religion which seems to have a spiral scheme. \u00a0And I was wondering, not so much whether I could combine them, but whether they were in fact different aspects of one scheme.\u00a0 A quaternary scheme, say Eros 1\u201325, Adonis 25\u201350, Hermes 50\u201375, Prometheus 75\u2013100, combining with (it couldn\u2019t in that form, of course) a ternary scheme, Thanatos 1\u201333, Logos 33\u201366, axis of Nomos & Nous 67\u2013100.<\/p>\n

I want to have a book to write that (without being a diary) will be more fun to write than any book will be to read.\u00a0 I suspect Yeats was in this state while writing the Vision, when he could only read detective stories at night.\u00a0 Also Joyce with FW [Finnegans Wake<\/em>].\u00a0 I\u2019m so determined to find the formula for such a book that I may not start writing at all until I\u2019ve either found it or become convinced it doesn\u2019t exist.\u00a0 But of course it does exist: all such things do.\u00a0 (CW 13, 131\u20132)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A bit later Frye writes, \u201cMy scheme . . . can\u2019t be just mnemonic: it has to correspond to something that\u2019s there.\u00a0 Dante\u2019s three worlds aren\u2019t there, but they\u2019re here.\u201d (ibid., 132\u20133).\u00a0 Frye goes back and forth between taking his project seriously and considering his \u201cmeanderings and ditherings\u201d nothing more than \u201cfootling\u201d as this (ibid., 134).<\/p>\n

Like Bacon\u2019s Great Instauration, Frye\u2019s grand scheme, of course, went the way of his never realized \u201cthird book,\u201d but he did devote a good deal of energy to sketching out what would be included in each of its three books.\u00a0 What follows is a reconstruction of its parts as these are found here and there in Notebook 11f.\u00a0 (The numbers in parentheses refer to paragraph numbers in this notebook.)<\/p>\n
