Cantico del Sole, by Ezra Pound



The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
Troubles my sleep,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America,The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
Troubles my sleep.
Nunc dimittis, now lettest thou thy servant,
Now lettest thou thy servant
Depart in peace.
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation...
Oh well!
It troubles my sleep.

"Jinx"? I think that means I owe you a free coke. At least that's what it meant where I grew up.

Pictures'll have to wait 'til we get home next week; I left my photo usb adaptor behind, and so far we haven't found a store in this little town that sells those.
