3 new videos on my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/AmoebaDick:-
(1) A recitation of Lewis Carroll's poem The Jabberwock
(2) A recitation of Heinrich Heine's poem Die Lorelei
(3) An excerpt from ch21 of Amoeba Dick, purporting to be a discussion by the Franco-Algerian art critic Paul-Marie Ridicule, of the enema art of Boucher, Bosse and Goya. This is reproduced below. If any Francophones wish to suggest corrections of any of the inevitable solecisms, I will be delighted to hear from them:-
“Ainsi furent encadrées, l’une à coté de
l’autre, les deux Odalisques de Boucher, celle de la turque et celle de Mlle
O’Murphy, la concubine de sa majesté Louis XV, chacune comme si offrante les
fesses à un type de M.Illingworth inaperçu. En outre, pendu en face, tout à
fait explicite: Le Lavement d’Abraham Bosse: le docteur, portant sa pistole
(son pistolet) énorme de lavement, s’approcha de l’invalide couché. Une femme –
l’épouse, la mère, ou la servante? – lui arracha la manche, comme si pour
éviter un acte
tabou. Enfin, devant les toilettes, une représentation de signification
ouvertement religieuse,
en meme temps tortueuse: le Trágala Perro de Goya, où fut presentée une foule de moines de l’Inquisition Espagnole forçant un
lavement sur leur victime.”
