II. Pendre la crémaillère


II. Pendre la crémaillère 
 
And Aaron was silent —Vayikra 10:3 
 
The general impression is that fifteen-year-old Dolly remains morbidly uninterested in sexual matters, or to be exact, represses her curiosity in order to save her ignorance and self-dignity. All right—fourteen. You see, Mr. Haze, Beardsley School does not believe in bees and blossoms, and storks and love birds, but it does believe very strongly in preparing its students for mutually satisfying mating and child rearing. —[CENSORED] (1955) 
 
She is somewhere nearby, waiting for you. She has been waiting a long time. All will become clear as soon as you lay eyes on her. You will remember her and she will remember you. You may think you are washed clean, but you aren’t. You still have your memories, they aren’t. You still have your memories, they are just buried, temporarily. Now we must get off. This is our stop.   
—J.M. Coetzee’s The Childhood of Jesus (2013) 
 
Simón: Proceeding on foot; in reverse, on a highway turn, and emboldened by the infrequency of headlights in a country overtaken by bikes—One could guess steel girders were still elegantly curved and planned for torsional effects, except perhaps for the grading not to spec and brought to fruition through suborned inspections, un ponte sostenuto 

Da due piloni—Given the mistaken dimity for a cowering creature, given staid survey against the internal instability to turn back from the unfounded walk on this dark bypass—This variance from schedule, which a nearby but unrelated siren disrupts, hastens the return to my shed on the docks, and without the reprieve of the Sunday crossword, from Airoldi (1890), who made the first parole incrociate or crossed words without the black boxes, published at last (1914)—Unable to derive any bearings from the worker’s dayschool philosophy’s placement of objects, just as the reverses on the chessboard held no appeal for David—Una lástima 

Said the comrades speaking between loads on the gangplanks—Piero Gilardi’s polyurethane nature carpets, Tappeti-Natura (1967), groaning with trees, be-ruffled sea wrack and simulated river-polished stones, and when fatigued with this niche expression in foam rubber, trading for activism for the Fiat autoworkers and manifestations against the inhuman efficiencies of high-speed rail in the eighties—Gilardi's museum pieces encouraged the audience’s be-stockinged feet and the docent’s once-a-month vacuuming with the variable 0.5-4.5 GPa of flexural modulus of thermoplastic polyurethane (1937) defined by the change in stress divided by the corresponding change in strain, and I had copied that each time from the board—What to make of their surface-level impressions through all of them, as Petrarch’s letters to the ancient dead, bearing this strain of self-consciousness—And despite all; likened now to the synchronous beating of cardiomyocytes in the absence and presence of calcium, thereupon the sliding filament theory of the troponin 

Tropomyosin complex veils and reveals an actin binding site with elastic recoil to the mind’s eye; if the action potentials arrive—That lead to speculations of the type of cardiac overuse injury and emotional strain in a tight compact frame; submitting Mahler’s request that a needle pierce his endocarditis-infected heart after his demise; the digitalis and radium compresses to his septic joints notwithstanding, from it at midnight (11 May 1911)—Reverb by the Second Symphony (1888, 1894) the distance sonst nirgends  
The composer’s condition amends with antibiotics and surgery, the consultation sought by those outside, which to those on the other side which is by no means a beyond—Primary treatment requires un bon de cession interne  
The internal transfer voucher sought, after the alpha-hemolytic plate staining green to red by most viridans group streptococci (VGS) proliferating in the mouth and preferential of valvular basement membrane and overlying fibrin strands, constituent  
 
Inés: Of heart valve vegetation, whose origin lies in poor oral hygiene—Exceptions besides, the congenital and intravenous drug use cases; the latter in which strains of S. aureus infect as otherwise skin commensals, and form the primary constituent 

Of injected contaminants; toilet water, all other manner of material abasement, which grazes the intimal lining and promotes the formation of a thrombus—What to make of these expeditious judgments; as one who relies on schemata to represent events, though lei lavora a ritmo sostenuto 

To her, the work that experience enlarges with disheartening repetition—Al poco giorno e al gran cerchio d'ombra / To the short day and the great shadow’s arc (1296), which begins the perplexing first of four poems ascribed before The Divine Comedy for a stone lady, Imbriani’s la petra (1891); hence the name, La Rime Petrose—Prior to the discovery of the Tolfa alunite (1461) and the dye mordant that tinged the peninsula and made the Medici monopoly—The Florentine exile submitting to execution by burning had he returned (1302), and then the Black Death, and those implicated for the suspicious well poisonings; though, the community’s sanitary practices of hand washing before prayers and bathing before the Sabbath somewhat reduced their exposure to plague; nevertheless, with their proximity to the Medicis, and their marginalization following the banking family’s decline (1494), the Florentine ghettos had to wait until they are liberated by Napoleon's army (1799)—Baudelaire’s reading of Dante (1840), un prix de cession interne 

The transfer price of the life of a transient with una persona in atteggiamenti, a woman in attitudes, whose her admirer does not stay overlong to interpret; but merely to retrace as an onlooker on the shop windows of the world, me lastimas 

Of Les Fleurs du Mal; these digressions and debaucheries in the underworld first published (1857) by Baudelaire whose compelled transfer was likely for the nonpayment of rent from his more than forty residences in Haussmann’s Paris—There, for three weeks Paul Celan spent in Paris (1938) prior to studying medicine in Tours, where he would sit in Notre Dame admiring the three rose windows, die Fensterrossetten—Their import, but not their transcendence, perhaps to reappear in Die Niemandsrose (1963), and views of an interloper in the cathedral in an unventured European city, that I was nowhere, dass ist nirgends  War, he concludes, with the deteriorating situation in Czernowitz—In Moscow, Wladimir Engelhardt and Militza Lyubimova, his wife and post-graduate student, describe the pigeon’s skeletal muscle myosin contracting with ATP in vitro (1939), which founds groundwork for the binding of calcium to with the three-subunit troponin C   Simón: With the troponin I - troponin T complex of the sliding filament theory (1954) visualized by x-ray diffraction (1973) and electron microscopy (Vibert et al., 1997), the troponin  
Site peals back myosin-binding docks on the actin filaments; shed in cardiac striated muscle, and an index of anoxic damage—The white Carneaux pigeon’s non-induced coronary lesions mimic human atherosclerosis more than any other species, and the pigeon the least among species attaining the mark-and-mirror test, where the most widespread bivalent cation calcium is the most common signal transducer underlying cardiac contraction (Ringer, 1883), of its functional unit, the sarcomere—Supplies the bird with the higher cardiac output of flight along with the constituent  
Oxygen-carrying capacity of its blood that follows avian erythrocytes are nucleated, whereas mammalian red blood cells are not; nuclei for mitotic divisions adapting to water loss, and the pasturing to thinner troposphere, where Petrarch consigns the nightingale as the emissary of the common people, those most be-felled by loss—As if he were exaggerating; to call into question his love for us, the boy’s dismaying resistance to learning to read and write, after the tethered nonsense to Señor Paloma’s dove's foot, released und sieht nirgends  
Hin, and the pet using the retinal fields under illumination of shortwave blue-green light (443-550 nm), and underscored by David's naivety that it will come back, a è sostenuto  
In gran parte dalla scienza of homing magnetoreception—You looked so beautiful that day on the courts at La Residencia, and the son borne to you, gratis, and qué lástima 
That he makes you suffer, the knowing detachment with which he became our son, and his minders recalled with perhaps more ostentation and authority than they presented themselves, until forcing him into an institution, le coût de la cession interne Inés: L'évasion—That we must leave Novilla; not knowing whether this failure to conform is his greatest gift or gross negligence on our part—Neither being la bonne ménagère nor you an exhibit of le meilleur de cession interne
Having lost one’s prepared remarks; beginning with Carlos Chagas on a cattle farm in Minas Gerais (1908)—Having isolated the blood sucking triatomine vector with Trypanosoma cruzi expelled from its hind gut and smeared by the sleeping into the wound, and the same flagellate in the blood samples (1910), and then come the antibodies primed to the trypanosome preferentially infecting heart muscle—With the body responding in kind, myosin and troponin T  

Auto-antibodies elevated with patients presenting the lowest left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) index of heart failure correlated with echocardiography (Nunes et al., 2013)—Furthermore, with over half of Chagas cardiomyopathy electrocardiogram changes disappear after the acute course—It should be noted that Darwin kept the Triatoma bug potentially harboring Chagas; maintained on his own blood, to define as a new species, when disembarking from Chile, on second voyage of the Beagle entry 25 March 1835—Charles Darwin’s chronic intestinal course and cardiomyopathy after 1838, Saul Adler convincingly argued chronic trypanosomiasis (1959)—Esperar otra hora para la lástima  

Another rereading of the Urtext; David's Don Quixote, abridged with illustrations, from which he eventually reads a passage; not from the former, but a gloss of La Gitanilla (1613) published posthumously, Encomiéndate a Dios  […] que muchas veces suele llover sus misericordias en el tiempo en que están más secas las esperanzas.—Trust in God [...] who often rains his mercies at the time when hopes are driest.—Cervantes spent five years captive on a Barbary pirate ship (1580s), returning to the initial optimism of his first work, La Galatea (1585), the imagined beloved heading two suitors off, and ground down in the latter hidalgo’s episodes (1605/15) astride Rocinante; the horse, a rocín, once-before a nag; suffixed with the antegraded form, written in the author’s facility of tax collector, hence the irony of Luis de Madrazo’s likeness (1859) of lower constituent (2002) 

Euro coins, on which is inscribed for Borges (1922), the zahir or the surface meaning, before the observer’s wave collapses into its esoteric meaning—Overheard among these blocks and scant communal amenities which include philosophy lectures on the consensus reality of a table—The arrhythmia sustains, and then the return with increased awareness of one’s heartbeat with the damper pedal of now, Sonetto LXI, known then to Franz Liszt (1847) as Petrarchan Sonetto XLVII—Da duo begli occhi, che legato m'hanno of the fourth line of observer effect, From two beautiful eyes, which have bound me, you say knowing peering over the grey lady at the cruciverbal sostenuta  

E sprezzante, which is another way of saying altera or haughty—Among the roadside purlieus of Lolita (1953) and breath suspending vistas apart from that shapeless form in grey linen, Theodora Goodman, preoccupied by the prismatic schist the car trails excavate making their escape—Goal of our labors; the cardiac investigations, let us turn to the Bayreuth Festival when Franz Liszt died, the dyspnea and potential recurring pulmonary thromboembolism would not settle this time with cognac (31 July 1886)—All this, after following his mistress, the Countess Marie d'Agoult, whose penname was Daniel Stern, to Switzerland and three children later von nirgendwoher  

Simón: Nirgendwohin—From no place to nowhere, an unfolding elevator lattice ersterbend (ever-fading) of the first meeting towards Celan's fourteenth line […] nahe am Nirgends 

Der Nester (1948)—The nowhere of nests, in the City where the rock pigeon shears in half on the pediment before the re-curved seventh-floor apartment glass—How the avian heart cradles between the left and right liver lobes; not the mammalian lungs, while in healthy specimens the left ventricle is completely emptied in rigor mortis, and this precedes the shoe box internment le bon de cession interne 

Meditations of flight toward that superior mirage of all the flocks the way Magritte made his sky birds eminent as cut-outs of the negative space, of the vegetation, and secret of our collective endurance—Meeting the butcher’s daughter, Georgette Berger, at twelve, and the sostenuto 

All the female subjects in the canvases were Georgette—The marriage bore witness to a parade of Surrealist poets; and the one who came closest to ending their union, the Belgian poet, Paul Colinet (1940), which gave new meaning to Magritte’s clouds, wherein the heartbeat of dawn produced an intense exercise-induced uptick in circulating troponin 

The reins struggle to freight into the filtrate—Dispute of the two-nation contested son of man, and the prayer for dew, and the constituent 

Of Paul Bowles’s translation (1946) […] a dark cloud went to die in the forest—Receiving evasive answers, you were nevertheless donning that aquamarine on a silver chainlet […] a spring rain gift (Nabokov, 208), when the aging carthorse is put down behind the grist mill, where our son is vehement he breathe life into El Rey; in this madness, I beheld you, lo hice porque me das lástima 

 
Inés: René survived his successor, Paul Colinet (1957) by a decade until his death by pancreatic cancer (1967)—Le dernier cri (1967), the last work, where the leaf coheres into a forest on hardscrabble ground of so many perilous nests that instead would have stayed petrified behind the door with Una written on it—Of la donna pietra, concretized by you, and plied with unguents to prevent lines as collagen production diminishes, qué lástima 

De cuerpo—Of the Neshama that inhabits and acts through it, forgotten and re-found; not a given, the leb of the heart—Having revived Auenbrugger’s dull percussion of the chest in pneumonia and granulomatous tuberculosis, René Laennec places his roll of correspondence to auscultate the female sitter’s heart in what became the stethoscope (1819) with the first copies handwritten attestations on the case of their immediacy to Laennec, who first described cirrhosis as that bronze sheen in a footnote on his new hearing method of cardiac diagnosis—Wie ihn nirgends 

Erlebt, like nowhere experienced, after your heart and after your eyes after which you stray (Bamidbar 15:39), and their constituent 

Spiritual limbs with numerical equivalents—And; in the end, it would be, the bulging epigastrium into Traube's space on the lower left lung, the thud of pericardial effusion (1761) or splenomegaly (1868)—Taking Auenbrugger’s osteophonic sign on the manubrium for the resonant sounds of intact upper arm bones by tapping each respective olecranon process, and alternately muffled when fractured, these are the principles working in the densest of bones, even the gomphothere skeleton, a trick of triage, le bon de cession interne 

Justifying escalation to the upper floors—Schubert’s retelling of Der Erlkönig Lied No. 16 (1815) the fifth character in the Goethe cycle (1782) is the horse, whose dynamic hoof beats arranged for solo piano by Franz Liszt (1838, 1876) with the minor and major vocalists undermined by of the score when the boy arrives, and the high levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT) 

Persist despite medical treatment; rendering this assay less effective in actionable courses in the setting of chronic heart failure—L’effetto perturbante sostenuto 

 
Querida, vas a lastimarteIntoned in chilling coldness, in the tongue of Novilla, el presión sostenido sobre la herida on an episode of bescraped knees—Restated, Blanchot’s wanderer’s country is not truth but exile (L'Espace Litteraire, 1955), but the constituent of Magritte’s L’Art de la conversation (1950) that is the dream— 

Alexey Pajitnov (b. 1955) formulates the lineaments of TETRIS in a one-room apartment owned by the State whose mature programming founded his bon de cession interne 

To America (1991) and promotion to Microsoft (1996) after the début (6 June 1984)—His son, the first-year medical student, Dimitri descends through a snowbridge on Mount Rainier, and is found three weeks later at the bottom of a fosse (22 August 2017) 

To speak of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT), and the computer-generated fractal patterning of its associated levels with left ventricular failure, and the all-cause mortality endpoints trending troponin that is, the stretto between two bespurred atoms closes und doch nirgends

"'Darling, let me make one thing very plain, I'm not blaming Shirley for anything. I admire her. She has one hell of a job. She's turned loose at fourteen in the back woods. She can find no guidance anywhere. Her parents pretend she has no problem. Religion gives her milksoppy advice that nobody she knows pays any attention to. In literature her problem doesn't exist. The old novels are all about Jane Austen and Dickens heroines who'd as soon put bullets through their heads as let a man kiss them. And the new novels are all more or less about Brett Ashley, who sleeps with any guy who really insists, but is a poetic pure soul at heart. This leaves Shirley squarely in the middle. What can she do? She talks Lady Brett and acts Shirley, handling the situation on the whole with remarkable willpower——'

[...] And I'll tell you about something else. I could turn this thing around and tell you all about—about Sidney, who wants to be a writer or a forest ranger or a composer or anything except what his father is [...] —and he ends up in his father's business just the same. I've opened my apartment door to enough of those.'"

"On your search for fungal threads and into the territory of slime trails, you might find some small clumps of low-growing plants that take advantage of the brisk trade going on between trees and their fungal partners: waxy or silvery-white or pinkish stalks with a single hanging flower head that looks like a shaggy extension of the stem. These plants do not contain green chlorophyll to manufacture food, so they tap into the sugars the trees are delivering to their fungal associates.

The sugar stick is a particularly striking combination of ivory with vertical pink stripes. Apart from the sugar stick, this group includes the ghost plant, which is so white it almost glows, pinkish pinedrops, the yellowish to reddish Dutchman's pipe, also known as false beechdrops or pine sap, and a number of coralroot orchids. The presence of these plants indicate that the forest is in good health. Although they siphon off some of the sugar being traded, they do not damage the trees or the fungi, both of which seem happy to share (68)."

"Inés Marzán did not get her hopes up solely because of past experiences, hope apparently had no place in the person she was at thirty-eight, if that was her real age: [...] there of interest to her purely pragmatically, instrumentally, so as to enjoy his company and his conversation as a preamble and epilogue [...]

[...] She could instantly create an aseptic, bureaucratic atmosphere as if she had no memory of what had just happened, as if what had just happened hadn't happened at all.

It was, of course, also possible that this was a defensive tactic, an act of self-preservation, that of someone wary and disillusioned, who is not only devoid of hope, but smothers the tiniest flicker; someone who, if she felt hope creeping up the ramparts would immediately pour boiling oil over it to scorch and send it plummeting back to earth, meanwhile brusquely scolding herself: 'What are you doing, you idiot, I thought you had learned not to believe in anyone, not to expect anything from anyone, to take it for granted that everything is transient and fickle and that people lie deliberately or despite themselves, even when they're convinced they're telling an immutable truth. [...]

To quote Baudelaire, Centurión saw her body blossom, but not her soul, either in evocation or in recollection." (212-13)."

-Margaret Jull Costa's 2021 translation of Javier Marías's Tomás Nevinson (2021)

"The sociality of puddling is thought to be an attractant; if a butterfly sees his kind at a watering hole, he is more likely to touch down. But on that summer Sunday when my skin and sweat appeared to be making fine salt licks on every surface I touched, the diminutive blue butterflies showed up were solo operators. How did they know where to go? The answer has been as elusive to scientists as it is to me. 'We don't know anything about what attracts the first butterfly,' Boggs says. Sodium has no scent, she notes, but maybe the butterflies are picking up associated scents like those of urea, ammonia, or bacteria. One of her students is exploring another possibility—that the lure could be visual. Salt affects the polarization of light, a characteristic that may be enough to draw the first pioneering butterfly (127)."
