So it is the duty of the artist to discourage all traces of shame	A
To extend all boundaries	B
To fog them in right over the plate	C
To kill only what is ridiculous	D
To establish problem	E
To ignore solutions	F
To listen to no one	G
To omit nothing	H
To contradict everything	H
To generate the free brain	I
To bear no cross	J
To take part in no crucifixion	G
To tinkle a warning when mankind strays	K
To explode upon all parties	B
To wound deeper than the soldier	L
To heal this poor obstinate monkey once and for all	M
	-
To verify the irrational	N
To exaggerate all things	O
To inhibit everyone	G
To lubricate each proportion	G
To experience only experience	P
	-
To set a flame in the high air	Q
To exclaim at the commonplace alone	R
To cause the unseen eyes to open	G
	-
To admire only the abrsurd	C
To be concerned with every profession save his own	R
To raise a fortuitous stink on the boulevards of truth and beauty	C
To desire an electrifiable intercourse with a female alligator	L
To lift the flesh above the suffering	H
To forgive the beautiful its disconsolate deceit	C
	-
To flash his vengeful badge at every abyss	S
	-
To HAPPEN	G
	-
It is the artist s duty to be alive	T
To drag people into glittering occupations	F
	-
To blush perpetually in gaping innocence	P
To drift happily through the ruined race intelligence	P
To burrow beneath the subconscious	D
To defend the unreal at the cost of his reason	G
To obey each outrageous inpulse	D
To commit his company to all enchantments	D
