Which is to say,it is a LITERARY theme: loaves, crumbs, the Greek words for
which, ARTOI, KLASMATA, KTL., sustain I theme that I have called "the
mystery of the wilderness feedings and feeder." I don't think this is
something that either syntactical analysis nor discourse analysis properly
concerns, unless either one is conceived in very broad terms.
