You have heard that M in the Smithy has recurrence of his eye-disease; more virulent this time. He has to stop his work, but he will die, he says, without it. Why this recurrence?
Pavitra says he saw him all the time touching his eye with his dirty hands and expostulated with him, but to no result. What is to be done with all these superrational men? He was doing the same thing with his eczema and that was why it lasted for months. Except tying his hands behind him, I don’t know what is to be done.
I am plunged in a sea of dryness and am terribly thirsty for something. Along with it, waves of old desires. Any handy remedy?
Eucharistic injection from above, purgative rejection below; liquid diet, psychic fruit juice, milk of the spirit.
