no less astonishing than incomprehensible no less incomprehensible than astonishing but our tranquility was soon disturbed
he grinned with a most ghastly and horrible aspect
glowing a little too bright with his admiration
notwithstanding all these excellent and rare properties
notwithstanding all these excellent and rare properties
indeed, the world at this sublime juncture
dying for love of a beautiful young indian
with a fervor that made her irresistible
behold her now, possessed yet triumphant

the parisians, part 2: the ruminations of m gaspard
|
wearing dresses of a darker hue with eyes that shone with desire offsetting their dresses of a darker hue
but hardly worthy of engaging the attention of a gentleman
in a completely sterilized atmosphere
proving that he was fit for something
the continuance of his preference seemed very uncertain
the continuance of his preference seemed very uncertain
but the object of the same compassionate criticism
something that will amaze the whole room
the sweetest moment of their lives

the loneliest hitchhiker, part 2
|
i had a good time in jail my longing was indistinguishable from loneliness the apotheosis of all emergency exits
better tuned to cosmic vibrations
a framed diploma was my only ornament
with their noses in the air
the guys in jail were great
right beside the emergency exits
instead of some romantic poetry just a great bunch of guys "breaking up that old gang of mine"
always with that smirk on their faces
a framed diploma prominently on the wall
