    • Added a quotation: “When I had my son I would explain all that to him when he was starry enough to like understand. But then I knew he would not understand or would not want to understand at all and would do all the veshches I had done, yes perhaps even killing some poor starry forella surrounded with mewing kots and koshkas, and I would not be able to really stop him. And nor would he be able to stop his own son, brothers. And so it would itti on to like the end of the world, round and round and round, like some bolshy gigantic like chelloveck, like old Bog Himself (by courtesy of korova Milk-bar) turning and turning and turning a vonny grahzny orange in his gigantic rookers.Alex

    • Added a quotation: “That's the one I was referring to: "It had been arranged as part of my like further education to read in the book and even have music on the chapel stereo while I was reading. O my brothers. And that was real horrorshow. They would like lock me in and let me slooshy holy music by J. S. Bach and G. F. Handel, and I would read of these starry yahoodies tolchocking each other and then peeting their Hebrew vino and getting on to the bed with their wifes' like hand-maidens, real horrorshow. That kept me going brothers. I didn't so much kopat the later part of the book, which is more like all preachy govoreeting than fighting and the old in-out.Alex
    • Added a quotation: “But one day the charles said to me, squeezing me like tight with his bolshy rooker: 'Ah, 6655321, think on the divine suffering. Meditate on that, my boy.' And all the time he had this rich manny von of Scotch on him, and then he went off to his little cantora to peet more. So I read all about the scourging and the crowning with thorns and then the cross veshch and all that cal, and I viddied better that there was something in it. While the stereo played bits of lovely Bach I closed my glazzies and viddied myself helping in and even taking charge of the tolchocking and the nailing in, being dressed in a like toga that was the heighth of Roman fashion.Alex
