"But when the devil says to you again, 'You are damned'," St. Francis said, "You answer him confidently, 'Open you mouth--and I will [empty my bowels] in it!"

Note: In the Actus an Italian expression is used which corresponds to the English "four-letter word."

"There's even some evil mothers who will tell you that everything is made out of dirt."

Yes indeed.
Have some music news:
Got Robert Wyatt's new Comic Opera. Pretty nice on first listen.
See that Stephen Merritt's Magnetic Fields have a new release.
See there's a new band out of Boston called the "The Young Republic". Coincidence?

"Comicopera" has been out on the US for a little while. It hasn't gotten under my skin the way, e.g., "Shleep" did, but it's always good to hear Robert Wyatt's voice. The new Magnetic Fields is fun and noisy and reminds me a little bit of the stuff Stephin did in Boston.
