a curse

"They should be exterminated like lice:"


may their mouths be modified so as to be able to take only one kind of food, namely blood

may eggs of a flea be sculpted over the surface of their body

may they be kept in an incubator, void of expression

may a dozen freshly-laid eggs be struck against the door of their lonely chamber

may parafin and petrol destroy them

may a great resevoir of infection become their common residence

may elastic garters obtain a firm hold on their face, so that they cannot enact extra precautions or conduct the following experiments: falsetto opera, piano improvisations, or voyages to the tropics

may improvement in social conditions only strike them dumb with dread

may a fever ever rage in the layer of straw that covers them for warmth

may their minds produce only corpses
