More books...


Siss' post reminded me of this picture I have of my grandfather while he was studying at the Geneva medical school, in the very early 1900s.

Lots of books there too...

Lots of books (indeed), and an interesting position in which to peruse them. What's up with that chandelier?

Dandy In The Underworld
T-REX
(A Bolanic revision of Orpheus Descending)

Prince of players
Pawn of none
Born with steel reins
In the heart of the sun
Gypsy explorer
Of the New Jersey Heights
Exalted companion
Of cocaine nights

'Cos he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air
Will anybody ever care

At old eighteen
Exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms
Of the mythical Oz
Distraction he wanted
To destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks
The ancient mansions of hell

Now all of his lovers have left him
And his youth's ill spent
He cries in the dungeons
And tries to repent
The change is a monster
And changing is hard
So he'll freeze away his summers
In his underground yard
