I must confess that I had previously thrown a rapid glance around and made sure that in this deserted suburb I was for a sufficiently long time out of the range of any policemen. Having finally, by a kick in the back hard enough to break his shoulders, knocked …

Now then: On Friday, Jan. 30th, I went to Paris to buy pencils, Mandarin, a Palette, Napoleon Brandy, canvases and other appurtenances of the artist's dismal trade. I took occasion to call upon an old mistress of mine, Jane Chéron, concerning whom see The Equinox, vol. I, No. VI, "Three Poems".

Snowdrops from a Curate’s Garden

So he chivied a hole from her bubs to her bladder And took out his penis and blocked her : And thus the very first man that had her Was the eminent London Doctor. She had triplets soon by the boy in the stable : There was Copulating Cora And beautiful Mensurating Mabel And Defecating Dora. Of all they did to tell you the story I may one day not be chary For it all redounds to the honour and glory Of Micturating Mary. But the Bishop ruined the Vicar’s daughter. Though he usually kept it hidden, he Had a tool in length a yard and a quarter. And i…

Ambergris

…out Of its own voice beneath the falling knife, When, like a bad dream changing, swiftly grows A new soul’s joy, a fuller-petalled rose. Many the spirits broken for one man ; Many the men that perish to create One God the more ; many the weary and wan Old Gods that die to constitute a Fate : How many Fates then, think you, must control The stainless aspiration of the soul ? Not one. I tell you, destiny is sure, Yet moves no finger : though it tune my tongue, My tongue shall tune it too : my words endure As destiny decays : my hands are flung In…

Thy mouth brims over with laughter at the antics of thy lover, so that in thy mirth thy podex also brims over.1 Then the guests cry shame ; and fall down with laughing, until the feast is disordered and be- comes a debauch, so that the decorous are embar- rassed. So drunk am I, however, that I shameless- ly demand thy love before them all. Them the of- ficers rush in and lead us before the Qazi.2 But …
