JOHN BRYAN ASCHER A TALE A Prince was vexed at having devoted himself only to the perfection of ordinary generosities. He foresaw astonishing revolutions of love, and suspected his women of being able to do better than affable acquiescence set off by heaven and luxuries. He wanted to see the truth, the hour of essential desire and satisfaction, Whether it was an aberration of piety or not, that is what he wanted. Enough worldly power, at least, he had. All the women who had known him were assassinated: what havoc in the garden of Beauty! At the point of the sword they blessed him. He did not order new ones.— Women re-appeared. He killed everyone who followed him after the hunt or after the libations—Everyone followed him. He amused himself cutting the throats of rare animals. He set palaces in flames. He would rush upon people and hack them to pieces.—throngs, gilded roofs, beautiful animals still remained. Can one be in ecstasies over destruction, and through cruelty grow younger! The people did not complain. None opposed him. One evening he was proudly galloping. A Genie appeared of an ineffable beauty, unavowable even. In his face and in his bearing shone the promise of a complex and multiple love! of an indescribable happiness, unendurable even! The Prince and the Genie probably annihilated each other in essential health. How could they possibly have helped dying of it?. Together then they died. But the Prince died in his palace at an ordinary age, the Prince was the Genie, the Genie was the Prince.— Skilled music is lacking to our desire. Arthur Rimbaud “If you choke on a fish bone, cover your mouth with your napkin and leave the table quickly.” Emily Post ivtsard Me en
