- About My Library
One of those poet people.
'Look, I need a...I need a bohemian atmosphere. I'm an artist, Mr. Turner. Like yourself.'
'You juggle?'
'Why not?'
'Why, why not? Why not a jongleur? It's the third oldest profession... You're a performer of natural magic.'
'I... I perform.'
'I bet you do... I can tell by your vibrations...you're the anti-gravity man! Amateur night at the Apollo! Cheops in his bloody pyramid... He dug a juggler or two, didn't he?! Remember? And the tetrarchs of Sodom...and Orbis Tertius... Am I right? Am I right, babe?!'
'More or less. Personally, I just...you know... Perform.'
-- PERFORMANCE (1970)
