Déjeuener sur l’Herbe Déjeuener sur l’Herbe I was looking for armored trains in Russian civil war. I stepped into this photograph. They were young men, just out of their boyhood. They ate their rations on a meadow. Siberia, or the vast Ukraine. Not a gala luncheon at all. La Chapelle winked. David Leavitt said something about leather. Techno music, maybe. Then,... El lobo (after Cormac McCarthy) El lobo (after Cormac McCarthy) The wolf is an icon. The wolf is a totemic animal and demigod. Many clans of warriors, ancient armies, Rome itself and their Dacian rivals, the Turks and the Mongols represented themselves as the sons of the Wolf.

I think strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul

I AM ALL IN A SEA OF WONDERS I DOUBT I FEAR

THE PREMISE IS

To approach Zalmoxis, we start from Apollo. God of Forecasting. God of Diseases, Supreme Healer. Magician Sire of the Underworld, God of the Far Traveling Arrow. He is not Greek, he came from the immense plains in the North-East, from lands where the Sun rises and lasts.
