Episode Seven
Cast-a-Nets
The funny thing is that your
collages attracted more attention than all
of the other gadgets in my museum!
People can easily comprehend those.
As for the rest, it will be
some time before they comprehend...
Salvador Dali to Amanda Lear
in the latter's biography,
Persistence of Memory
Before the Fournarinas of ORB progressed with their investigations into the occult life of Salvador Dali, who liked to call himself the Son of Hermes, Olivia decided to distribute DVDs of the opera to her new friends for their own analysis. Soon the discordant tones could be heard in Como, Kentucky and O-hi-O; a cacophony of castanettes calling the Order of the Croissant's membership to action:
Second Entrance
or
wrestling with the angel
Reciter
Three and a half billion beings
gather around the lagoon-like lake
that is Port Lligat
where purple, erotic-
mythological swans float
Dali paints the huge canvas
of the horizon upon the rocks
Speaker
Humanity sends the angel to talk to
Dali
to ask him to paint anew
the order
of the sea
of the darkness and light
of the flowers and air
of the paths in space
of the origin of man
The Angel
of the sea
of the darkness and light
of the flowers and air
of the paths in space
of the origin of man...
Why do you paint so few flowers?
And why do you paint them so small?
