inter alia
on the
stroke of twelve came the surveyor
as usual
and
as
expected
despite
that
we had
neglected
to sweep
the blood off the stairhead
the
hatstand in the hallway
exposed
to the argus-eyed mirror
was
trying to hide its guilt
under
four hats
the
fox-terrier panic-stricken
followed
us at heel
howling lord have mercy
be that
as it may at the last moment
we
managed to push the winds pell mell
into the
wardrobe of the bedroom
thus
conjuring an illusion of calm
the
spacious drawing-room
locked
in its past post-mortem
smelt of kavafis
egyptian
tobacco
and the
myopic eyeglasses on the table
had
corrupted the ethos of the books
in the
presence of all concerned
the
bailiff laid his hands on a treatise
octavo
size
entitled
mons veneris
he
leafed through it salivating glosses
in the
margins of the pages
inter
alia
a. aphrodite on the frontispiece
raising a white flag
b. pretty woman
pretty pretty woman
c. your two breasts
resemble twin cubs of deer
feeding among lilies
d. sex specialis derogat sex generali
on the stroke of five to twelve
we set
on the way to Ithaca
inter
alia – the english
version
