B.I. Mrs. G. 5.
ID408. 24/6/15.
From Mrs. Goldberg (mysteriously appearing in my inbox
without a sender address): Apologies for
the insistent, incessant verbosity of my devotee, Merlin Merculisse l’eremito
mago di Victoria, he who placed Excalibur near Mercer Island. He is computer and visually inept belonging
to the ancient alchemical world. His
Socratic zeal is exacerbated by his bedazzlement with my pupil Iolessa La
Strega Magnifica, strana e bizzarra (most beautiful woman conceivable who
therefore exists necessarily).
Nevertheless, I esteem his obsequies and frequent libations of Liquore
Strega. His perceptions, especially of
myself, will improve with Confucian rectification of names and the program of cyber
Zen Shock Therapy prescribed and directed by La Strega. The d’Inverno of his discontent will not
become his Inferno of eternal torment (though he would like to check out
Francesca da Rimini). He is after all an
avatar of Mercury/Hermes, messenger of the gods, and also Ulysses/Odysseus, as
you can tell from his name.
Very soon Pegasus or my pet unicorn Virginia will carry
me into your midst. Goddess (Goodness,
Mrs. Goldberg) be with you if She exists.
