Earthbound Lovers: The Pouring
Friday August 29
18.30–21:30
Then I was installed on a barrel where I was expected to improvise bacchic litanies. A huge choir of the drollest characters chanted the refrain. So I began:
Oh! the thirst …
(Chorus: which may which may which might)
… of the stomach
(Chorus: which reeks which reeks which rots)
Oh! the thirst …
(Chorus: which may which may which might)
… of the chest
(Chorus: which reeks which reeks which rots)
Oh! the thirst …
(Chorus: which may which may which might)
… of the brain
(Chorus: which reeks which reeks which rots)
Excerpt from Rene Daumal: A Night of Serious Drinking (La Grande Beuverie), 1938.
