https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCbwftxkOm8 High above the shipwrecks, from the lookouts of the towers, bent and distant over the elements of disaster, over the things that happen beyond words, celebrating nothingness, along an easy wind of satiety, of impunity, over the metallic scandal of weapons in use and weapons laid aside, leading the column of sorrow and smoke that leaves behind its endless battles at the fall of evening. The majority stands there, the majority stands there, reciting a rosary of petty ambitions, of age-old fears, of inexhaustible cunning, quietly cultivating the horrible variety of their own prides. The majority stands like a disease, like bad luck, like an anaesthetic, like a habit, for those who travel in stubborn opposition, against the current, bearing their special mark of special despair, and among the vomit of the rejected take their final steps, to deliver to death a drop of splendour, of humanity, of truth. For the one who, in Aqaba, cured leprosy with a makeshift sceptre, and scattered in his wake devastating jealousies and children, with improbable names borrowed from tango singers, within a vast programme of eternity. Remember, Lord, these disobedient servants of the laws of the pack. Do not forget their faces. After wandering so far astray, it is only right that fortune should help them, like an oversight, like an anomaly, like a distraction, like a duty.

Hope you’re all well and merry! I recorded this yesterday on the train back to New Delhi!
