III. Une histoire des poissons

...je lis dans les astres la bonne volonté des mes amis / dans un fleuve j'aime une main —Philippe Soupault, Comrade (1919)

Mean, apparent, and sidereal assimilated to the dream of a fading negative of a stellar

Trail along the wainscoting with cupids—Abstracting the length of Xiangqi red’s move

In the scholar’s nine-point courtyard; fierce peace, Jaromír bounded as the gallows, the block,

Or the knife, put down for bread pudding—The milkmaid’s umbra (1605) in burnt umber sumptuary

Emerging ten days from a jeweled egg ring, a bocage beneath chanterelles of the birch trees, Nymphalis antiopa

The mourning cloak, or Camberwell beauty, with Continental distribution, after the well of the Britons logged in vellum sheaths of the Domesday Book (1086)—

Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848); who separated calculus from the infinite (1817), whose maternal name, Maurer; wall-builder, and possibly Ashkenazic, portions Almaricus, the earliest surname on Norman record, from the Domesday Book—

Domus Dei, as the door on Mariánské street, now the municipal library founded by Jesuits, the Klementinum recording the climate continuously until 1939—Among stellar

Computations of the Observatory’s sundial, in view of Vltava spanned by eighteen bridges—Taking the eighteen minutes’s drive to rue de Meaux (1987-1991), where Nymphalis antiopa's

Ecdysteroid concentrations; having modeled its crumpled and drying wings, with pteridines, ommatins, melanins for scales, glides beyond its birch atrium, to ultimately drink from the stag's mouth fountain in view of Notre Dame, on the former grounds of L'Hôtel-Dieu—Born in the middle of a move (16 April 1994),

From cemeteries with fathers younger than the sons—Twin sons, Amphion and Zethos, in a lost play by Euripides (410 B.C.E), drink from the wellspring of Ismene, guarded by the Ares’s drakon, from drakein, to see clearly, the short-lived administrative block

Of Thebes assigned as Cadmeia, where all metamorphoses converge, as in a shocking quarter of butterfly hemolymph in the sumptuary

Transfer of the spermatophore hastening vitellogenesis, with myotropins for ensured contraction of oviduct—Sumptuary

Butterflies; borne on their inexhaustible fuels of syrup and nectar, summarizing this movement for us: what has once moved is enclosed and eternalized in the total union of all being like an insect in amber—Reads the book

Found in the January wreck at Sens (1960), with an Appendix of Songs, Le Gai Savoir (1882), and rather than going so far as to speculate on an absolute morality, with the dais vacant, consider the unknotted Linnaean divisions, with a blocking

Reagent, modifiable DNA binding regions with lysine annealing the backbone, and imino proline, which cannot steady α helix or a β sheet, allowing for ladder-turns—Prague, perhaps the most stellar

Of cities, with the Orloj skeleton still nodding the revolutions, hosted Kepler—Reviewing the Rudolphine tables in December, when Nymphalis antiopa

Overwinters to emerge as thorned chenilles in late June, early July, Kepler regarded the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Pisces (1603), which was then joined by Mars (1604), the most elliptical path moved

The fastest nearest to the Sun—While writing L’Été en Algérie (1954), did Camus inspect that pediment of Amor handing Mar’s sword to Venus—Consecrated by Augustus, evoking the prime movers

Venus’s son, Aeneas, and Rhea Silva; performing her exile, rheô, or stream, as the mother of the founding twins to interpolate the orphan, Octavian—Jacques Cormery, the sumptuary

Mars until it squanders—Jupiter, producer of the bounty reserved by the Saturn, who has locked fountains of the nymphaeum

Percolating the crypt of the library of Celsus (117 C.E.)—A diapause, for by yolk accrual, by lampbrush chromosomes, where the bee casts an unchanging shadow before departing from its cell of bookplates

When the still-warm ground graces frost flowers from its blustered xylems—Untitled (Butterfly Habitat), c. 1940, the peristaltic thorax titered juvenile hormone blocking

Further molting, or other rival queens between hives—Operatives, over the Bedfordshire model porcelain Fountain (1917), rather than its occupant, and yet the stellar

Apis Indica—The Indian bee, having migrated so far, for a proprietary swarm in the wind-braced locust within sight of Notre Dame; amended stellar

Region occupying 206 square degrees reframed by Kepler as a bird of paradise (1627)—Pollio; perhaps, interceding, is granted the gift of a son by the fourth Eclogue’s abbreviated peace at Brundisium that October (40 B.C.E.)—Octavian, whose later face trades in its clusters, where hard oaks shall drip dew of honey, who is known to himself as the Trojan refugee, spares moving

The Maro landholding in Mantua—Now returns the reign of Saturn, at the edge of a meadow at first scythed with great effort; furthered as a hotspot for butterflies—Since Maimonides (1135-1204) mentions the first modern dosage of antigen blocking

Mast cell degranulation of histamine belying all that is the low microbial biomass of bee pollen—The Hotel of the Golden Bee’s photostats of Saturn and Jupiter (1970), set at the ten and four hours, perform their rival sumptuary

Of a secret miracle around the teapot of Sagittarius, with the base’s striped kitten with matching storm bands of the signifying planet that is signed three times by the one born on Christmas eve—A philatelist unearths a Turkish Nymphalis antiopa (1988)—

We read Joseph Cornell from the plane of the ecliptic, at the Milky Way, with an outlook enclosed in the arch of the Pollio fountain at Ephesus (97 C.E.), Kuşadası, or bird island; the book

Opened at random, granting the species there undersides of a stump concealing an iridescent blue spray; a book

Supplanting the attention paid to a Delft foot warmer—Phenomenal as the impediments of Thebes  Zethos pressed against stirred by Amphion’s notes—Their mothers’s eponym of a stream, in the Untitled (Penny Arcade Portrait of Lauren Bacall) (1945-6) being presented this October (2015) in the Kunsthistorisches Wien! among the shifted cabinet of curiosities of Rudolf II—Among the sea-unicorn and alraune, tabulations of the most accurate stellar

Positions to date; ten years surveying the transits of Mars, Astronomia Nova (1609)—The Ancient Greeks noticed Nymphalis antiopa
Drinking from riparian willow diverted for fountains—The Golden Age of Prague (1583-1612) is this Bohemian sumptuary

Least of which is, and hope lives at these magnitudes, tolerance in the form of the Letter of Majesty (July 9, 1609)—Indifferent to being spotted in the moonlight, the Loew golem (c. 1606) rouses from its attic to look in on Kafka’s former residence at the Three Kings (No.3) Celestá Lane, where the solar hand pauses  for Hladnik on Pisces, and the lunary on Cancer (29 March 1939)—Beyond the birches, separate façades of the Renzo Piano housing move
Us to volumes of the dreamed Klementine library suggested in the slot-machine homage as much to Bogart as the rise and fall of a solitary cloudberry from  her aquavit, then draping her mink coat on the floorboards to sense its depth—Blocking

Each’s flair for exasperation; tugging at foci blocking our book’s breath spaces of a child, a lap spaniel—

Reflecting that this is always the case, Nymphalis antiopa opens its sumptuary cloak in winter, and last
Autumn’s Crocus sativus harvest astonishes—Rather than rearrange the cosmos, a stellar timekeeping raises my hand through the invisible labyrinth where the drop of water still clings to our cheeks—
