Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1974 volume:

Besides my cellar door last winter I was chopping wood for the Iire-the tree surgeon had left some pine limbs for me-and a chunk of wood flew up from the block and hit me in the nose. Owing to the extreme cold I diant realize what had happened until I saw the blood on my mackinaw. Lily cried out, tIYou broke your nose? No, it wasn,t broken. I have a lot of protective tiesh over it but I carried a bruise there for some time. However as I felt the blow my only thought was truth. Does truth come in blows? ThatIs a military idea if there ever was one. I tried to say something about it to Lily; she, too, had felt the force of truth when her second husband, Hazard, punched her in the eye. ll You canot eat for eight hours, you canot drink for eight hours, you canot make love for eight hours, you canyt sleep for eight hours, all you can do is work. -William Faulkner We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when i We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Our ratst feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without color, Paralysed force, gesture without motion . . -T.S.

Never had Oskar seen young people cry so. They came time and time again; they went without food to save up the six marks forty it cost them, and wept about the beard that was absent and the beard that devastated the soft, maidenly skin. Sometimes they tried to stay away from the Onion Cel- lar. One Monday they didntt come, but the following Mon- day they were back again. Rubbing the chopped onion be- tween their fingers, they admitted that they had tried to save the six marks forty; they had tried doing it by themselves in her room with a cheap onion, but it wasn,t the same. You needed an audience. It was so much easier to cry in company. It gave you a real sense of brotherhood in sorrow when to the right and left of you and in the gallery overhead your fellow students were all crying their hearts out. eGunter Grass, The Tin Drum 57 Estoy Drguuoso De Ser nqlan-nnnanuran .

Only then is it ready for hash. T0 hash. take a large sharp tool like a nail file or. if none is handy. a bayonet will serve the purpose and then get at it! Hash it well! Bind the remains with dental floss and serve. 67 68 TURKEY AND WATER ea? Take one turkey and one pan of water.

In the time you're 21 the ex- citement and the novelty and the adventure have dimmed a bit and theater is just a job. My hunger for the glamour had been sated by then. And now when they ask: 'Is there any role you wish you had played?' I say None? I haven't sat and gnawed my nails waiting for park. I just did the jobs as they were given to me.
