3. THE VOICE OF THE PAINTED PRIEST: At the clearing in the forest of pillars the priest prepared to speak. ' On this happy occasion, dearly beloved, we are here to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. It is always a great pleasure for me to talk with young couples. Their faces are so fresh and eager. Their hearts are so full of hope. Their lives are so full of promise. Jon and Shelagh, of course, are no exception. They are committed to each other. They will here publicly and before God testify of their love and of their fidelity and I shall have the joy of pronouncing the blessing of the Church over them. They will go forth from here with the love, I am sure, of all of us, not just at this moment, but for always. They will endure many trials and be beset with many temptations. They may wish to termmate their union. But let them remember, my dearly beloved, that should their minds ever turn to those iniquitous thoughts of adultery, fornication, bestiality, homosexuality or lust, then shall the wrath of God be kindled against them, for our God is a consuming fire ! And now, unto God ' s gracious mercy and protection we commit you, may he bless you and keep you all the days of your life and bring you unto his eternal sexless bliss. Amen. ' 4. THEIR TEETH SHOW WHEN THEY LAUGH: Everyone was determined to enjoy the Reception. There was ham, roast beef, turkey, champagne of course, and the ultimate paradise of endless macadamia nuts. The band was able to play anything from waltzes and polkas to nostalgic imitations of the Big Bands, and once when everyone was drunk, it startled us with something very peculiar from the Blue Oyster Cult. ( ' It ' s modern ' , I explained to the Hon. Anthea ffrench-Tollemache, who was clinging insecurely to me. ' Oh, ' she replied uncertainly.) Shelagh was not smiling. It means death, ' she said. Look what happens when they laugh. They show their teeth. Their skulls are under there, under their lips and cheeks and hairdoes. They are the laughing dead. They don ' t know it. Can ' t you waken them up? ' 21

5. ENANTIDROMIA: I must go back. I cannot turn. I am falling. I am being pulled into the earth. I will become a stone, dreamlessly sleeping for a million million years until the earth is sucked into the sun and I shall be liberated to start again. My mind is going into the moon. It wants me as a stone, a stone friend of its own stones. I was very drunk and I was staring into the mirror. Or perhaps it was staring into me. I stepped into the mirror and through myself. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him, out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him. Do you see anything? ' And he looked up and said, I see men; but they look like trees, walking. ' Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly. And he sent him away to his home, saying, ' Do not even enter the village. ' 22
