Canto 3,000,001 (Including Hist'ry

        Running out of margin space in my copy
        must make notes off page as well, an
        interesting week of testimony from Ollie
        sd. claim Casey planned to govern
        without documents, we know what
        Adams would say about such coversion...
        ...
       'And they transmitted across the line of death
        from Erria which they bought for $350,000'
        ...
        .. Saying the weight of a Dane's testicle
        several grams more than a 'Chinaman's.'
        ...
        Two weekends in a row, I have caught nails
        with tire, placed steeped in Sh-t. The fellows
        drive a Chevy Citation, light blue,
        & if I'm on to the right guys they wear
        camouflage pants. They'll have a lifetime
        of hell to pay. THIS is Old Baldy's fault...
        ....feel(s) isolate, marginal, locked
.
        up in a ward for non-conformance, to the
        average, the mediocre, the cliche-monger.
.
        This, the last defence for the great old Constitution
        & everything described in great detail, so that
        YOU may not follow, so that I may govern
        myself without documents too, to avoid
        such counter-education as you intend.
.
        Hence, Mr. Bruce reading notes w./ smirk,
        Mr. Joyce is obscure, and no one says "hence,"
        Hence, my opticianry is obscure, and after
        the ironic revolution, remained ambassador
        to study how Pope made Alcinous into dictator to please
        his English mind.
.
        Hold the states ready, illegitimati non carborundum!
        What is erudition without documentation?
