“Rischiando continuamente assurdità e morte dovunque si esibisce sulle teste del suo pubblico il poeta come un acrobata s'arrampica sul bordo della corda che s'è costruita ed equilibrandosi sulle travi degli occhi sopra un mare di volti marcia per la sua strada verso l'altra sponda del giorno facendo salti mortali trucchi magici coi piedi e altri mirabili gesti teatrali e tutto senza sbagli ogni cosa per ciò che forse non esiste Perché egli è il super realista che deve per forza capire una tersa verità prima di affrontare passi e posizioni nel suo supposto procedere verso quell'ancor più alto posatoio dove la Bellezza sta e aspetta gravemente l'avvio della sua girandola di morte E lui un piccolo Charlot che potrà cogliere o no la sua dolce forma eterna con le braccia distese in croce nell'aria vuota dell'esistenza”

Неожиданное о русалках “Русалка - опасное создание, несущее смерть. Сверху она похожа на женщину с ужасным лицом, длинными скользкими волосами и крупным телом. А снизу - на орла, с сильными ногами, когти на которых разорвут на клочки любого. Хвост её покрыт рыбьей чешуёй. Русалки поют нежную песню, услышав которую, моряки засыпают, после чего русалки вытаскивают их с корабля и рвут на куски. Так они загубили многих хороших мореплавателей. Опытные моряки, завидев русалку, затыкают уши и выбрасывают в море пустую бочку. Русалка отвлечётся, чтобы поиграть с ней, и корабль спокойно пройдёт мимо. О таком способе свидетельствуют те, кто видел это своими глазами” Laurence Andrew, The Noble Lyfe and Natures of Man of Bestes, Serpentys, Fowles and Fisshes, 1527 #askthepast
