stove of the devil

Mouth, anus, sphincters, round muscles closing our holes, the opening and the closing of the world, attack cleanly (teeth, lips, the muscled mouth) and finish cleanly ( cut off the air). Stop cleanly. Chew and eat the text. A blind spectator should be able to hear it crunched and swallowing. Mastication, sucking, swallowing. Pieces of text must be bitten off, viciously attacked by the female eaters ( lips, teeth); other pieces must be quickly gulped down, swallowed, gobbled up, breathed in, guzzled. Eat, gulp, eat, chew, dry lung, chew, masticate, cannibal!

"The picture shows the Devil working at a fire. Two cavaliers appear, and the Devil takes the form of a seer, old, bent and wrinkled. Then he disappears in a cloud of smoke, to reappear shortly as a ghost, whose head comes off and floats around the room. Suddenly the table gets up of itself, and flies up the chimney. All sorts of wonderful things happen. A cannon takes the place occupied by the table, and belches forth flame and smoke. A large cage appears mysteriously in the center of the room, through the bars of which the Devil passes as if it were an open door. By his magic, he makes the cavalier pass through the bars in the same wonderful fashion. Everything is so weird and fantastic, that such a small trifle as a man turning into a donkey excites but passing notice." -Edison catalog
