This is identical to what Malick calls (a moment of) grace.

Pynchon seems to have seen this same fated locking-up at all scales, from the heat death of the Universe to the entropic corrosion of a message through repetition.

Sally Potter's Orlando Never seen anything else by Potter but this adaptation feels as beautifully mannered & oriental, as temperamental and sensual, as its sourcetext. The politics and parables are less subtle than in Woolf's original. You'll be sorry to hear very little about The Oak Tree...
