BPALOMA HURTADOF
“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” - Charles Bukowski

Giacomo Leopardi Opera Omnia - “Dialogue between Fashion and Death.” 1842
Pri m um M ysteri um Ga ud i i . Annunti a ti o.
FASHION -- Madam Death, Madam Death!
DEATH -- Wait until your time comes, and then I will appear without being called by you. FASHION -- Madam Death!´´ DEATH -- Go to the devil. I will come when you least expect me. FASHION -- As if I were not immortal! DEATH -- Immortal? “Already has passed the thousandth year,” since the age of immortals ended. FASHION -- Madam is as much a Petrarchist as if she were an Italian poet of the fifteenth or eighteenth century. DEATH -- I like Petrarch because he composed my triumph, and because he refers so often to me. But I must be moving. FASHION -- Stay! For the love you bear to the seven cardinal sins, stop a moment and look at me. DEATH -- Well. I am looking. FASHION -- Do you not recognise me? DEATH -- You must know that I have bad sight, and am without spectacles. The English make none to suit me; and if they did, I should not know where to put them. FASHION -- I am Fashion, your sister. DEATH -- My sister? FASHION -- Yes. Do you not remember we are both born of Decay? DEATH -- As if I, who am the chief enemy of Memory, should recollect it! FASHION -- But I do. I know also that we both equally profit by the incessant change and destruction of things here below, although you do so in one way, and I in another. DEATH -- Unless you are speaking to yourself, or to some one inside your throat, raise your voice, and pronounce your words more distinctly. If you go mumbling between your teeth with that thin spider-voice of yours, I shall never understand you; because you ought to know that my hearing serves me no better than my sight. FASHION -- Although it be contrary to custom, for in France they do not speak to be heard, yet, since we are sisters, I will speak as you wish, for we can dispense with ceremony between ourselves. I say then that our common nature and custom is to incessantly renew the world. You attack the life of man, and overthrow all people and nations from beginning to end; whereas I content myself for the most part with influencing beards, head-dresses, costumes, furniture, houses, and the like. It is true, I do some things comparable to your supreme action. I pierce ears, lips, and noses, and cause them to be torn by the ornaments I suspend from them. I impress men’s skin with hot iron stamps, under the pretence of adornment. I compress the heads of children with tight bandages and other contrivances; and make it customary for all men of a country to have heads of the same shape, as in parts of America and Asia. I torture and cripple people with small shoes. I stifle women with stays so tight, that their eyes start from their heads; and I play a thousand similar pranks. I also frequently persuade and force men of refinement to bear daily numberless fatigues and discomforts, and often real sufferings; and some even die gloriously for love of me. I will say nothing of the headaches, colds, inflammations of all kinds, fevers -- daily, tertian, and quartan -- which men gain by their obedience to me. They are content to shiver with cold, or melt with heat, simply because it is my will that they cover their shoulders with wool, and their breasts with cotton. In fact, they do everything in my way, regardless of their own injury. DEATH -- In truth, I believe you are my sister; the testimony of a birth certificate could scarcely make me surer of it. But standing still paralyses me, so if you can, let us run; only you must not creep, because I go at a great pace. As we proceed you can tell me what you want. If you cannot keep up with me, on account of our relationship I promise when I die to bequeath you all my clothes and effects as a New Year’s gift. FASHION -- If we ran a race together, I hardly know which of us would win. For if you run, I gallop, and standing still, which paralyses you, is death to me. So let us run, and we will chat as we go along. DEATH -- So be it then. Since your mother was mine, you ought to serve me in some way, and assist me in my business. FASHION -- I have already done so -- more than you imagine. Above all, I, who annul and transform other customs unceasingly, have nowhere changed the custom of death; for this reason it has prevailed from the beginning of the world until now. DEATH -- A great miracle forsooth, that you have never done what you could not do! FASHION -- Why cannot I do it? You show how ignorant you are of the power of Fashion. DEATH -- Well, well: time enough to talk of this when you introduce the custom of not dying. But at present, I want you, like a good sister, to aid me in rendering my task more easy and expeditious than it has hitherto been.

Limyre, culpa tua est, longe gelidissime rivum saxosae Lyciae, quam torruit atra Chimaera. Nulla tuas utinam penetrasset femina ad undas! Nympha fuit conspecta tibi miranda figura: 5 impulit, ut caperes bellam, te caeca lubido, at fugiebat enim: comes unius illa Dianae. Instas promissis fletu p rece munere vique et tandem vincis: corpus non illa dedisset solum, sed semet t radit cum pectore toto: 10 deperiit tete. Sed non tibi vota supersunt: amplius haud curans alios specularis amores.
