from Notes on the use of the library (Basement annexe)

[liseuse.livejournal.com]

The Principal's other edition of Q,
Scott by the truckload, and Fredegond Shove,
Manuals instructing the dead how to do,
What they no longer can with the Torments of Love,
Mistaken assumptions concerning The Race,
Twelve-volume memoirs of footling campaigns,
Discredited physics, the Criminal Face,
Confessions of clerics who blew out their brains,
Laws and Geographies (utterly changed),
Traveller's journals that led up the creek,
The verbose, the inept and the clearly deranged,
The languages no one has bothered to speak,
And journals of subjects that do not exist:
What better excuse is there to go out and get pissed?
