Suppose it were Friday lxxiv: would one be there for it

He knows better than

anyone how to use the

apparent nonchalance

of true strength to

give an impression of

  Orson Welles, what

              Had they given birth to

              an ordinary child, they

              would in any case have

              provided him with that

              refined liberal education

              in which the precocity 

              of the young prodigy was

              given the power to explode.
