However, some escaped, Including his essay about a sect Of Jews in Ottoman Arabia Performing human sacrifice as late As 1885. If one knew less Or more! How much did Burton know? Reveal? Where is the manuscript? Who printed it? Perhaps the whole thing was a forgery By Rider Haggard, who, despising Jews, Knew how much harm a narrative can do. Look what The World's Desire did to Aztecs. Or, as he pointed out, the Pentateuch. Assume, however, that the story's true. The Caliphate, and let alone the tribes Of Bedouin would not have taken note, Especially if the coincidence Of calendars meant sacrificial cries Of sheep drowned out this year's elected youth. How early did the Saudi Monarchy Have information, or the Zionists? Quite probably a text is in the vault At Whitehall. Threats of circulating it May well have shored the Palestine Mandate. And in the hands of Brooklyn-Williamsburg… It is romanticism to suppose That if the ritual is practiced still It's in the "Empty Quarter" or the Sinai, Accessible, as Burton might have found, Only by camel. Let the CIA Investigate instead the tenements Of Cairo and of Aden. Blackmail kept Down Palestine? It might check Israel. And since Jehovah's prose, like that of She, Or Burton's Nights, tends toward the purple, His Can be the medium to turn the rite Into an urban legend. "Abraham Therefore stretched forth his hand and took the knife To slay his son" But Isaac turns aside; The blade cuts through his shoulder. Dripping blood, He runs into the street. The altar smoke Obscures his father's vision, slows pursuit. Mistaking Isaac for a catamite, Police assume he flees a lovers' quarrel. They do nothing. Moloch, Dagon, Baal… Have you worldwide collateral effect? �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The crowds outside seem conscious of a strain; The first newspapers hurtling off their trucks Dispel it. Native newsboys cut the cords; I buy a Star and scan the headlines. No Real need to short my circuit. Coffee bar, And bar, and after that my homemade curry. ... A Turkish kick in the café au lait At the Brazilian Coffee Shop brings back Full strength the early afternoon remark Of Nola Croy, my secretary clerk. No' had the first reports of rioting At noon, as interruptions in New Rose Of No Man's Land, her English Program soap. "Look out for Saracens loose in the streets." I know the reference is in this case To armored carriers the police now use; But as the Rose announcer likes to say, "It resonates." As, too, the coffee does: Constantinople 1453. �... The bar is full. I elbow toward Aldo To order Oude Meester, brandy that O O7 , if he knew, would kill for. Lloyd McBride, who has no English, takes my hand. "Hoe gaan dit, Yank?" Not nearly accurate, As I am two years from a deepest South. "Goed, man. Met jou?" I turn and see full face The vainest profile in Johannesburg, Horst Tugendhat, whom I know socially. "Hello, Trevelly." That is not my name. Herr Tugendhat perhaps does not know me? "If you have money now's the time to buy. The riots in the morning won't be Sharpeville. They'.ll be down on Hollard Street." My alter Ego is perhaps a youth of means? I am a lowly Civil Servant IV. "The Free State gold shares all dropped eighteen points. They'll all go back up, however. Once, at least. The nearer to the riot area The less the shares went down. At one o'clock West Driefontein had not gone down at all." This is an attitude I know elsewhere. It's Save your Confederate money, Boys. Though Horst is Berlin of the whips and chains, Not Appomattox of the proffered sword. �His family, Berliner Tageblatt, He told me when he knew me, owned also The Van der Rohe house outside Brno. (In those days publishers did not throw stones?) Far and away the chilliest icebox I ever sat in. Even as a week End house we couldn't stand it. "Will you be Undressing at the fencing studio?" "Oh yes, of course." I do not have so much As an appendicitis scar, but I Owe something to that figure I am not, As Horst does not let being Jewish mar His blond stand-offishness: a mien to say "Sein Ritter ich, bin Lohengrin genannt." A newsboy (White) is at the barroom door, Arousing no one's interest. No sale. "Ek ken nie die lokasies nie," I note For Jan DeBeer, remembering too late He has no Afrikaans. "The Stock Exchange?" He questions, on the quite good guess my lack Of knowledge has to do with Hollard Street. "I know them," Ian Williamson breaks in. "I have a trading license there. Or had." He is a six foot two New Zealander, And Avon Lady of the township trade. "If they need anything it' s first aid kits." �"I came here hoping I could--you know--write," Says Ian. "Now I'll have the chance, I guess. I used to think I'd write about the bar. The bar and all of us as seen by Luthi. How would that be?" "Bantu busboy view Of bar bilingualism on the Rand? It's not your average teenage romance. I doubt that anything we do in here Would seem to Luthi one bit more bizarre That all the other things us White Folks do." Across the room a drunken shriek goes up From I can hope the actual Trevelly. "Nazi faggot! Don't you think I know That scar of yours is pure collodion? You'll be balls up in Brenthurst clinic next To see if they can sew a foreskin on." "Or then again it may seem more bizarre." ... I meet my neighbor, Helen Heiden-Linden, At the elevator. "Curry, Helen? I've enough for two." "Enough for three? My mother's up from Durban." "And to spare.

Free, More free than ever they desired to be, from “Home,” The colonies,, that is to say, the colonists, May not or may absorb the truth that Germany Is now to Europe in the measure they have been To Asia and to Africa. One year remains Of their new self-determination. French and Dutch Governments-in-Exile are just as impotent As, for the moment, are the independence groups. The King, another Leopold, is no Free State; A Vichy, rather, or a Dunkerque antonym. What threatens White control is also what protects: The raw materials the Axis covets force Its rivals to defend. In time it will emerge That neither oil nor rubber is the prize. The Congo has uranium. In its remove And its self-centeredness itself a colony, Los Alamos creates a rising sun its own To be sundown on metropolitan Japan. There is no twilight in the tropics, Old Hands say, But dusk of course there is; and cities of the West On notice in the East experience as grace Distinction’s missing difference: the fading days That summarize.

Why should Mars Not have the Muses? No one ever called The Iliad a hymn to peace, or said Art has no wars. Miscast, Eros attends, Who most of all should have attendants, first Among them Mammon. Most of scholarship Not being in the least original, The owl whose tenure is beside the ear Of Wisdom any parrot could contest. And Ceres as a deity of grain Has ram’s horn as a cornucopia, A nod to mutton. Javelin, the flash Upraised in Zeus’s hand is not more apt In signifying than the triple threat Of Neptune, or than Hades’ two-prong fork. A trident gleams in firelight; bidents shine In water. Each could substitute for each (As Roman names can substitute for Greek). And does the Father serve the Holy Ghost, Or with the Holy Ghost attend the Son? Jehovah’s service from the earliest Has held out for the nothing less than all, Defaulting to the priestesses of Baal. Mohammed, prophet of, not son of God, Is outside these assessments. Buddha’s tree Was in Siddhartha’s servitude as shade. A lifeless canopy would serve as well. One god, of course, will never lack for shade. Has he a name? Yes, many, but is one: More uniform than any other god .
