XXXV

So this is ( may we take it ) Mitteleuropa :

Mr Corles was in command of machine guns
but when the time came to fire
he merely lit a cigarette and walked away from his battery
and seated himself in a field ,
so some subaltern gave the order to fire
And Mr Corles did not suffer the extreme penalty
because his family
was a very good bourgeois family in Vienna
and he was therefor sent to a mindsanitorium ,

Mr//Fidd/séz
Mr Fidascz

explained to me

the horrors of playing the fiddle while that ass Gabrilovitch
was conducting

that
in particular the Matias Passion, after requesting the audience
that the audience come in black clothes ;

And the Fraulein Doktor nearly wept over the Tyrol
being incapable of seeing that the century-old joke on Italia
was now on somebody else

though if they cd. sentimentalize over that lousy old
bewhiskered sonvabitch François Giuseppe of whom nothing
with t\e/
good is recorded == in fact the most patient research
nothing good is recorded ... and so forth ...
this is Mitteleuropa and Tsievitz
has explained to me the warmth of affections
in fact the intramural the almost intravaginal warmth of
hebrew affections, in the family, and nearly everything else ...

pointing out that Mr Lewinesholme has suffered by deprivation
of same and exposure to american snobbery ...."I am a product of
said the young lady " of Mitteleuropa " ;

but she seemed to have been able to mobilize
and the fine thing was that the family did not
wire about papa's death for fear of disturbing the concert
which might seem to contradict the general indefinite wobble
It must be rather like some internal organ
some communal life of the pancreas ..sensitivity
without direction ... this is ...

Oh yes; there are nobles, still interested in polo
said the whoring countess of course there were nobles
Mister Axon the usually so intelligent was
after two lunches with Dortmund unable, in fact he was
quite unable to play respectable chess and the younger
Alexi after living with Murphy

was observed to be grey in the gills
through a presumed loss of vitality if we have said so
stupidity is contagious The divorce of Potemkin
was impeded by the death of his grandmother
and a resurgence of family feeling

His wife now acts as his model and the Egeria
has, let us say, married a realtor. Having resigned overt
intention to remarry the widow, once the rose,
spends her time now plagueing her daughter, and
Mr Elias said to me :

" How do you get inspiration ?
Now my friend Hall Cane told me he came on a case

a very sad case of a girl in the East End of London
and it gave him an inspiration. The only
way I get inspiration is from a girl. I mean sometimes
sitting in a restaurant and looking at a pretty girl I
get an i-de-a, I-mean-a buisiness idea."

dixit felix Elias.

A take of the perfect schnorrer: a beautiful chewisch poy

He had ideals and he said to the general at the conference
" I introduce to you the head of the bakers' union .
" I introduce the head of the brick-layers' union ..."
" Comment ! ! Vous etes tomyé d si bas ? "

replied General Franchet de whatshisname
on the part of the french royalist party, showing
thus the use of ideals to a Jewish Hungarian baron

and a fine collection of paintings. "We find the land overbrained"
said the bojars or whatever the old savages call it
as they hung their old huntsman friend to his chandaleer
in his dining hall after the usual feasting and flagons;
VIRTUSCH !! it must be one helluva country. Item :
That there be made a *fontego* ( a chamber )

to lend money on cloth so that they cease not to
labour for lack of money. Item: that there be made scaven-
zaria
and it be furnished with cloth thus pledged
to be sold *a schavezo* at a price as if wholesale
plus only the proportion of the tax for the retail so that
Mantua cloth be cheap as in countries circumjacent and that
Brescians, Cremonesi, Parmenesi, Resanesi

who now go to Verona where it is cheaper as also
our own townfolk go there, they wd. then come here or
stay here to the augment of industry and increase in
the *tax* retail *aHHHHHH* tax and all of the other taxes.

Item: for the increase of this art *HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
shd. be a man stationed in *V*enice ...to sell what we
can't sell here... Item .. a dye works .. that they can dye
the pledged cloth ... and that finding here cloth well coloured
...infecit umbras ...

the Romagnols wd. come here to Mantua, and the March folk
who now go to Verona to buy ..all of which wd. be
gain to this industry, bring more people to live here
and be of great use to your taxes.

When the stars fall from the olive
Orx with four points or with five

Toward St John's eve

Came this day Madame ... Madame la Porte Parure
Adorned with the romancero

foot like a flowery branch. That
Venice be luogo di contratto, may we
say the place where the deal is made

and the profits
most assuredly from the pocket

of the last man who buys / exempt from customs
be food stuffs, and nothing else exempted

so
9 per cent in and 9 out for the upkeep of " The Dominant "
and De Gama (Vasco) a great inconvenience in fact the
worst news that there could be but

"O can Portugal keep it up?"

ommes de partibus ultramarinis
needing salt made their peace with Venice
" who commands sea, commands trade "

let the rest provide for " The Dominant " Victoria ?
"Where 'ave I 'eard that nayme ?

Undersell, overbuy, maintain defence of the searoute
a.d. 1423 / a.d. et cetera

9% in and 9 out, no export of sand, alkali, rags

Quality, so that our goods please the buyer.

Tell the Wazir that stuff is ours only in name

It is made by damned jews in exile, made by damned jews in
Ragusa; and sold with Venetian lables. Goods in
Venetian bottoms
