INTERLUDE *& ::::: Demonoid Spake Thus
Demonoid picotent drew by the side, and coming to close, he spake thus:
Do not dream of the beastly things, do not cover yourself in them nor trouble yourself with them, the error of the play was not wholly yours, nor are troubles of the night. in the sideways glance of time we dream
Demonoid picotant spoke thus:
It was ever thus so, ever thus so and so, or so-so, as the case may be and if not it was trauma. In the sideways glance of time, as the case may be, or if not it was, we were in the letter of the law, but in it we took off into the night, but in the glancing blows of midsummer of all the needs we talk, and talk, and talk, and we are in the glimpsing of the night, such as is the like of the creepy guy, but not as if which is who, but thus do not gently, see disclaimer
Demonoid picotent went to the well to draw water, speaking ever thus and so about the time trials of the enchantments of the waters and the hamstringing of hope
All your time in the well was not wasted
Ever of the trees we were not there, but here, nor everywhere, we of all the small ones were demons but not of the Earth, of the stars
Demonoid picotant inquired as to our health
We were ever thus and so, but see disclaimer
Paranoid schizophrenia, of course, said the faithless narrator
In the wails of the women we hear the tears of the fathers
All in the sequence of steps to doing it came the timings of the ways and means
Words upon the wind were spoken
Demonoid picotent said it was ever thus
