Harsh gargoyle face that warred against me over our
mess of hash of lights in rue Saint-André-des-Arts. In
words of words for words, palabras. Oisin with Patrick.
Faunman he met in Clamart woods, brandishing a
winebottle. C’est vendredi saint! Murthering Irish. His

forest.
—Mr Lyster, an attendant said from the door ajar.
— ... in which everyone can find his own. So Mr
Justice Madden in his Diary of Master William Silence has

—There’s a gentleman here, sir, the attendant said,
coming forward and offering a card. From the Freeman.

—Certainly, certainly, certainly. Is the gentleman? ...
He took the eager card, glanced, not saw, laid down
unglanced, looked, asked, creaked, asked:
—Is he? ... O, there!
Brisk in a galliard he was off, out. In the daylit corridor
he talked with voluble pains of zeal, in duty bound, most
fair, most kind, most honest broadbrim.
