The enormous tragedy of the dream in the peasant's bent shoulders Manes! Manes was tanned and stuffed, Thus Ben and La Clara _a MIlano_

by the heels at Milano That maggots shd/ eat the dead bullock DIGENES, [gKdigenes] but the twice crucified

where in history will you find it? yut say this to the possum: a bang, not a whimper

with a bang not with a whimper. To build the city of Dioces whose terraces ar the colour

of stars.
