I remember when I was in high school—in the church courtyard—a beggar. 'Give a little something, for the sake of Christ!' I walk by. 'Please give, for the sake of Christ!' I keep walking. Running up to me, he said. 'If not for God's sake—then for the devil's if you like!' Why did I give to him? He was indignant.

Scream your lungs out, posters! What do we have to do with your machines, your Lenins, Trotskys, your new-born proletariats, your decaying bourgeoisie...We have Ramadan, Mullahs, grapes, a dim memory of a great queen...This is the boiling sediment at the bottom of these gilded cups. We—are outside, we—are above, we—are a long time ago. It's for you—to be, we—have passed. We—are once and forever. We—are not.
