On My Night Table


for Dr. Omed

Arrival of the Hunt family on
the day of a quarrel among Gamba's
and Byron's servants. If they are encountered
occasionally, the meeting is always
unfortunate, as this one is. "I give
you warning that if my ambassador
returns empty-handed I shall take the
field against you, with all my armies, as
soon as the winter is past." But out of
all the different methods he taught, there
were two that he particularly
emphasized. Freedom from acknowledged
forms of regulation is freedom for
economic and erotic exchange.
But when you believe in the reality
of things, using an artificial means
to see them better is not quite the same
as feeling closer to them.
