DEDICATION
If I ever write a book, I shall dedi-
cate it to Hafiz for two reasons: he!
is dead, and I envy him. I envy him;
;for two reasons: he is a poet and he
is' dead. Envy only dead people, and,
you will never be bothered by them-
or will you?
Around where titanic watets flow,
And soft-scented zephyrs blow,
Stripe-winged duckies fly
Into the snow-filled sky.
Vigorously their wings they flap
When aroused from reposing nap;
Far through the air they leep.
When jarred from sleep. .
Off o'er yon wriggly hills they go
Outlined brownly against the snow.
'Till drowned in cloudlets deep..
"There is nothing by which men dis-
play their character so much as in
what they consider ridiculous."--
(Goethe).

Joan immediately shows her grasp
of the situation. The sixteen year old
girl in blue doublet and hose tosses
back her dark bobbed hair, and an-.
swers dangerous questions with law-
yer-like precision, carefully avoiding
the pitfalls. She is continually inter- #
rupted by a rabid English nationalist
monk who yelps for her torture. The
Inquisitor's answer suggests that it
is more painful "on the torture of the
mind to lie," but finally de Stogumber
has his wish fulfilled; he sees her
burnt. Then, and only then, like his
fatherland, which he symbolises, he

his outlook for all future time. The
bishops merely recognise that they
