	A
	-
white curtains of infinite fatigue	B
dominating the starborn heritage of the colonies of St Francis	C
white curtains of tortured destinies	D
inheriting the calamities of the plagues	E
of the desert encourage the waistlines of women to expand	F
and the eyes of men to enlarge like pocket cameras	G
teach children to sin at the age of five	H
to cut out the eyes of their sisters with nail scissors	I
to run into the streets and offer themselves to unfrocked priests	J
teach insects to invade the deathbeds of rich spinsters	J
and to engrave the foreheads of their footmen with purple signs	J
for the year is open the year is complete	K
the year is full of unforeseen happenings	J
and the time of earthquakes is at hand	F
	-
today is the day when the streets are full of hearses	J
and when women cover their ring fingers with pieces of silk	L
when the doors fall off their hinges in ruined cathedrals	J
when hosts of white birds fly across the ocean from america	M
and make their nests in the trees of public gardens	J
the pavements of cities are covered with needles	J
the reservoirs are full of human hair	N
fumes of sulphur envelop the houses of ill fame	O
out of which bloodred lilies appear	P
	-
	-
	-
across the square where crowds are dying in thousands	J
a man is walking a tightrope covered with moths	J
	-
there is an explosion of geraniums in the ballroom of the hotel	Q
there is an extremely unpleasant odour of decaying meat	K
arising from the depetalled flower growing out of her ear	R
her arms are like pieces of sandpaper	S
or wings of leprous birds in taxis	J
and when she sings her hair stands on end	T
and lights itself with a million little lamps like glowworms	J
you must always write the last two letters of her christian name	O
upside down with a blue pencil	U
	-
she was standing at the window clothed only in a ribbon	V
she was burning the eyes of snails in a candle	U
she was eating the excrement of dogs and horses	J
she was writing a letter to the president of france	J
	-
	-
	-
the edges of leaves must be examined through microscopes	J
in order to see the stains made by dying flies	J
at the other end of the tube is a woman bathing her husband	W
and a box of newspapers covered with handwriting	X
when an angel writes the word TOBACCO across the sky	Y
the sea becomes covered with patches of dandruff	Z
the trunks of trees burst open to release streams of milk	L
little girls stick photographs of genitals to the windows of their homes	J
prayerbooks in churches open themselves at the death service	J
and virgins cover their parents' beds with tealeaves	J
there is an extraordinary epidemic of tuberculosis in yorkshire	S
where medical dictionaries are banned from the public libraries	J
and salt turns a pale violet colour every day at seven o'clock	A2
when the hearts of troubadours unfold like soaked mattresses	J
when the leaven of the gruesome slum visitors	J
and the wings of private airplanes look like shoeleather	S
shoeleather on which pentagrams have been drawn	B2
shoeleather covered with vomitings of hedgehogs	J
shoeleather used for decorating wedding cakes	J
and the gums of queens like glass marbles	J
queens whose wrists are chained to the walls of houses	J
and whose fingernails are covered with little drawings of flowers	J
we rejoice to receive the blessing of criminals	J
and we illuminate the roofs of convents when they are hung	C2
we look through a telescope on which the lord's prayer has been written	V
and we see an old woman making a scarecrow	S
on a mountain near a village in the middle of spain	D2
we see an elephant killing a stag beetle	U
by letting hot tears fall onto the small of its back	E2
we see a large cocoa tin full of shapeless lumps of wax	J
there is a horrible dentist walking out of a ship's funnel	U
and leaving behind him footsteps which make noises	J
on account of his accent he was discharged from the sanatorium	O
and sent to examine the methods of cannibals	J
so that wreaths of passion flowers were floating in the darkness	J
giving terrible illnesses to the possessors of pistols	J
so that large quantities of rats disguised as pigeons	J
were sold to various customers from neighbouring towns	J
who were adepts at painting gothic letters on screens	J
and at tying up parcels with pieces of grass	J
we told them to cut off the buttons on their trousers	J
but they swore in our faces and took off their shoes	J
whereupon the whole place was stifled with vast clouds of smoke	F2
and with theatres and eggshells and droppings of eagles	J
and the drums of the hospitals were broken like glass	J
and glass were the faces in the last looking glass	J
