Simaetha calls on Hecate, and hears the wild dogs at the gate. High winds. Here comes the Fourth International.
Gust front last night.
We sent the spotters up with cinder blocks to chain themselves down to. There came

Drenching rains upon the lurching hillside. Today two deer sheltered out back. Two fascinated
Cats watched. One escaped to sojourn to the wild then returned soaking in the arms of the civilised woman.
Then the deer... and the Chinese envoy was here, incanting of love and the great famine as the wind
Blew, the sheets of rain... there lived a wife at Usher's well... long live the weeds... I tried to sleep
Amid the botheration of a pelting series of failed revolutionary dreams of the things that you have seen
In those brave moments of truth upon the naked beach cobblestones
But can now see no more, beautiful and fair comrade, and a good thing it is
The winds come to me from the fields of sleep and say this
Beautiful and fair post scriptum you were given, among the cabbages, winding across wide water, without sound,
Who, when you first met, there in the middle of the road, could not have known
The desperate clown privations that lay ahead, on the animal collective farm,
Was not meant for you. And before the night is out every new shoot and bud and leaf and aspirin and pismire
Say this too...

Demonstration of the War Invalids, Petrograd [April 1917] | by The Graduate Institute, Geneva

"The Demonstration of the War Invalids, Petrograd [April 1917]." The photo may represent a demonstration which took place in April 1917, in a tense political climate marked by anti-war demonstrations in Petrograd and Moscow. A witness of the demonstration, Trotsky described it in these words: "In April 1917 there took place the patriotic nightmare of the war invalids. An enormous number of wounded from the hospitals of the capital, legless, armless, bandaged, advanced upon the Tauride Palace. Those who could not walk were carried in automotive trucks. The banners read: 'War to the end'. That was a demonstration of despair from the human stumps of the imperialist war."': photographer unknown, April 1917 (Boris Souveraine papers, The Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Library / The Graduate Institute of Geneva)
