What is Bohemia? Where is it, No
body can tell you. Nobody knows.
1t is an illustion. We never give up
believing in it, as children go on belev-
ing in Santa Claus.
1t is the place of impossible freedom.
1t is where you can do as you please.
You can say what you think, with utter
frankness. This we can never do. The
meeting would break up in a free fight.
But we like to Think we can.
We can dress as We please. Old clothes.
new clothes, hickory. shirt. corduroy coat,
red necktie, no necktie long hair, whis-
kers, cigarettes, beer. pop. milk or whis-
ky, pigs knuckles and sauerkraut. or cat
meal anything. and nobody to criticise,
everybody to admire our originality.
1t is the opposite Of respectability.
1t is the music of sweetly clashing
heresies.
1t is lawlessness without violence.
1t is unity without the suppression Of
individuality.
1t is escape from civilization.
1t is reversion to type. We intellectu-
ally become cavemen.
1t is like the kingdom Of heaven. in
that rich man can hardly enter it.
= There are no patronizings. no preenings
of possessions, no ponderousness of great
names, no false values we are all good
fellows. and the man who has done things
is no more welcome than the youngster
who thinks he is going to do things.
1t is the one refuge safe from the
dominance of the business man. Here We
have no business. talk no business.
Here is no sin, and less righteousness.
Here no laws are broken, for there are
none.
We all talk on the most interesting
theme in the world-ourseIf.
1t is a condition Of society entirely un-
feasible, union of souls wholly unmix-
able, Il wild dream unrealizable; SO we
like it.
Over it's door is the motto of the monks
of Thelema, Fay ce que youldras''-Do
as YOU please.
We take excursions thither now and
again when the desire to bust loose" be-
comes uncomfortable: then we come back
to the office and the home. and they put
the bit in our mouth again. and saddle
us and harness. us. and jab us with the
goad, and OH We go down the dusty road.
