Or, w/here,

	 "Au loin deja la mer s'est retiree / Et toi / Comme une algue
doucement caressee par le vent / Dans les sables du lit tu remues en
revant..." (now in the distance the sea has receded / and you / like
seaweed caressed gently by the wind / into the sands of bed you sink
while dreaming..."). (J. Prevert, "Sables mouvants" (Quicksands), in
_Blood and Feathers_, Selected Poems of J. Prevert.)

[_ou_]
	It is "From the Stone Age to Jacques Prevert" (Bataille, _The
Absence of Myth_, pp.137-154), that again a "thread" is Ur-re/woven upon
a "preoccupation" - in good company to the expulsion/"ejection" from the
Surrealists: Prevert and Moore. Is it like _Emile-Emile_, (1930, film to
have been based on Prevert's script, yet a film, as we say in Sicilian,
'che non si gira', due to Batcheff's suicide in '32), w/here 'paroles';
like the(there) bread-crumbs, are begged in the street to complete the
tail/(tale) of the sculptors life-size elephant? In _toto_, we're not in
Paris anymore, nor do many recall, (nor(a) can B), the beauty of Sylvia
Bataille as Edith, (_Le Crime de Monsieur Lange_ , (1935,
script//dialogue by Prevert, in collaboration with  J. Renoir), or is
th(is)at also (as there) under the thumbed-at, watered down, since too
"health'd-up' a hill by reg[iments], fleur-de-lis[t] of a Vichy
Government? Yet, _ou_, _ou`, could for Prevert and Bataille a Boulevard
du Crime rise, since here spectators  vociferous, are (k)not?  

[_ou`_]
	" [...] cafe-creme' [...] cafe-crime [...] le petit bruit de
l'oeuf dur casse sur un comptoit d'etain / il est terrible ce bruit /
quand il remue dans la memories de l'homme qui a faim." (Prevert, "La
grasse matinee"). (coffee with cream...coffee with crime...the tiny tap
of the cracking of the hard-boiled egg on a tin counter / This sound is
terrible when it stirs the memory of the man who is hungry).

['a']...

	..._ou_, 'yace clausula de perlas si no rima de cla-Vel' *
(twisting Quevedo as a _quo vadis_ again before $/wine), going, going
gone a gone-go-ring, for Prevert in Bataille (_op.,possum cit., 137-154)
returns one to H.V.K.B. (just see: 139, 140, 141, 152, 153). Che
_ingenio_! [laughter]. Yet here to-word _Les Enfants du Paradis_
(1943-45, script/dialogue by Prevert, with director Marcel Carne)  as a }
_mise en scene_ / _mise en abyme_ {of Arletty [R-read] and Baptiste
[add-'venir'] woven with love and criminality.  

[b]...

	...cause, as if in "a time of famine", where I hear some humming
from a "solitary consumption": "_'Everyone else is hungry, but not me: I
can eat my ham on my own...'_", tis' there that I "'bestow sight' [:..]
not on the pig that was eaten but on the pig who eats." (Bataille,
_op.,possum cit., 143). So,

[c]...

	? [laughter !]  Son(o) l(u)i, giu'-per-terRa. Porco di Dio.
[laughter]

les graines de l'oubli" **

if not a rhyme of carnations..[ + Vel])
** (eat from my hand
the grains of oblivion.
