and the fabians crying for the petrification of putrefaction,
the conservatives chatting,
distinguished by gaiters of slum-flesh
and the back-scratchers in a great circle,
complaining of insufficient attention,
the search without end, counterclaim for the missing scratch
the litigious,
a green bile-sweat, the news owners, ....s
....................................................
boredom born out of boredom,
british weeklies, copies of the ..........c,
a multiple ...... nn,
and I said, "How is it done?"
and my guide:
This sort breeds by scission,
This is the fourmillionth tumour.
In this _bolge_ bores are gathered,
Infinite pus, scabs of a lasting pox.
skin-flakes, repetitions, erosions,
endless rain from the arse-hairs,
as the earth moves, the centre
passes over all parts in succession,
a continual bum-belch
distributing its production.
(Canto XV)
[god that man's cadences were perfect -- he could have turned a fanny farmer recipe for beets into beauty.]
Doesn't that about sum up the world shared by murray, huffington, toynbee, & the wsj?
