Note From The Editor

Hello.

I am helping "Davy" transcribe his diaries for this tale. He has provided me with a long glossary and a Greek dictionary. I am "The Editor". I have been given access to this blog and will from time to time comment on his posts.

We have received some complaints that his style is "enigmatic". That he is "guilty of the twin sins of omission and elision." Thank you for your comments.

Please be patient. All will be revealed. These diaries, especially that goddamn "Galehaut", are incredibly cryptic. We will translate and paint the picture soon.

In the meantime, I suggest you read this "blog" with some equipment:

- A Bible.
- A copy of the "Decameron" by Boccaccio.
- A copy of "The Divine Comedy" by Dante.
- A dictionary.
- Pepys would help. He was also an abnormal diarist.
- "Repetition" by Soren Kierkegaard. There will be much "ressentiment". Look both quoted words up.
- Internet access, of course.
- Perhaps a good stiff drink. Things will not get pretty.

Thank you. The Editor.

Ah yes. And soon that story of how he arrived. And why he needed, immediately, to depart from another in Waterloo Station.

  "Be inconstant, nonsensical; do one thing one day and another the next, but without passion, in an utterly careless way that does not, however, degenerate into inattention, because, on the contrary, the external attentiveness must be just as great as ever but altered to a formal function lacking all inwardness."
