LEIBNIZ: Young sir, when I spied your Turkish sword, I took you for a Janissary, but your knowledge of the lands to the West proves otherwise—even if your East London accent hadn't already given you away.

Eliza was not, of course, a professional harpooneer, but she had the womanly knack of aiming for the heart, and so the weapon came at Jack straight as Truth....But she’d already turned her back on him and was walking away, not even caring whether she had hit him or not.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them
An idea springs out of his forehead fully formed, w/no warning. This is how all the best ideas arrive. Ideas that he patiently cultivates from tiny seeds always grow into monstrosities. Good ideas are just there all of a sudden, like angels in the Bible. Waterhouse stifles a giggle.

Christmas 1944
"What child is this, Who laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping?"
The Filipinos sing that & other songs in English, Spanish & Latin all evening long. At 1st, Lt Mori's guards get itchy trigger fingers. Goto Dengo explains to them that it is a religious thing, a peaceful celebration.

1st Lt Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha,
a junior at Mount Sebastian College. They were not love letters, but Lt Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack.
The things they carried were largely determined >

Wondering how I did it?

I boiled water and added two tablespoons of vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice.

I soaked it for 20 minutes, and after that, it looked the same, so I bought a brand new one.

Angry fat man on the radio,
Wants to keep his taxes way down low,
Says there oughta be a law,
Angriest man you ever saw.

He comes awake from a dream of metal voices, down the vaulted concourses of some European airport, distant figures glimpsed in mute rituals of departure.
Darkness.
The hiss of climate-control.
The touch of cotton sheets.
His telephone beneath the pillow. >

I couldn’t help seeing the restaurant as the Hundreders did:
Ambiguous conversation w/unseen serving-wench
Bags of hot-grease-scented food hurtling in thru the window
Attempting to eat while lurching down a highway
Volumes of messy litter
A smell that outstayed its welcome
