Halloween had come and gone, as well as Christmas and the New Year, and while Spring was fast-approaching, Olivia remembered the night Anaton Viscious had stepped onto the stage as Dali and delighted the audience with his near-perfect performance. The show had proved a huge success and a revival was being planned for July of that year, funded by 22's Hollywood friend, T. Grey.
"Thank the Gods we taped this performance," Olivia confirmed to Lucky Kitty as the pair watched on the Château Taureaux computer monitor, "because you never know what can happen in the future, especially with these Hollywood guys..."
"Meow," the black and white familiar concurred, although Miss O was pretty sure the talented Mr. Grey would not let her troupe down, especially as she and the producer were communicating on a fairly regular basis via telephone and broadband.
"He's pretty handsome and smart," Olivia allowed before her observation concerning the new benefactor's physical and mental attributes was cut short by the Overture and First Entrance of Anaton as the Surrealist:
Dali
La mort i la guerra
La sal de la terra
(Death and war
the salt of the earth)
Being God Being God Being God
is not a blasphemy
on the contrary, it is that possibility
by which God truly forms part
of our world of substance,
not merely of the soul, but of matter, too.
Chorus
Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus
Santitas et magnificentia
In santificatione ejus
Cantate domino canticum novum
Cantate domino omnis terra
(Glory and splendour surround him;
saintliness and magnificence shine
in his sanctuary.
Sing a new canticle to the Lord
Let all the earth sing unto Him.)
Androgynous Dali (male)
I demand that the Secretary General
of the United Nations proclaim
August Comte and Marilyn Monroe
"Universal King and Queen in exile"
and that every leftist disco and bookshop
render them honours
fitting of the Angel Consort.
As for Mao,
I recall that in 1960 I predicted
that one day he would unite China and the United States
to take over the world.
