np--The Magical City

[Richard Romeo]

hi all--

here's a quote from the late great R.A. Lafferty. I
changed a word or two

"As he lay dying here on Kentauron Mikron, all
untimely still in his golden youth, he whispered a
word to me that he would use if he were born again. It
is meaningless but numerologically magic word
'Baghdad.' It has since become the name of one of
those mirage cities, one of those cloud cities, that
travelers sometimes report seeing. I have learned
today that its meaning in Old Kentauron is "The Last
City Built By Magic." 


soon, we may see that magic city by the twin rivers
deluged by more Iron Tears.
