The wolf watches the fairies in a hungry way
A young boy from the preparatory school down the lane has been put under a trance so as to be used by Headmistress Ursula to create a portal into the realm of death. Grammar Instructor Gundrun has grown awfully quiet on account of how she is transforming into Satan, or an approximation of Satan. Other young scholars, specifically Simone, Isabel, and Nathaniel, are wandering through the astral plane, but whatever happened to Butcher Billy? And why are the Invisible Bears singing that irritating song? And what are the fairies discussing in their emergency council? Only time will tell. Or will it?

(Below is the first of Thirteen Ways of Looking at Apollo, an article by Matthew Battles. The full article can be found at the up-and-coming e-zine edited by misters Battles and Glenn, Hilobrow. We are very excited by their ongoing explorations into the heights and depths of culture. As they state on their masthead, Middlebrow is not an option.)

The professor of arcane knowledge in a lighter mood
Can no one see that Grammar Instructor Gundrun has been transformed into a sweaty-toothed demon? Is the boy that Archibald the Professor of Arcane Knowledge succumbs using his and-now-I-have-your-mind spell really going to be sacrificed to the forces of darkness? While in the astral plane, the young scholars, Simone, Isabel, and Nathaniel wander aimlessly over undulating mounds while being harassed by snickering insects. Be warned.

What mysterious forces are at work now?
What could all this be? Faerie orgies? Metal buckets full of bile? A light emanating from The Lady Jane College for Little Ladies that spans the globe? Somehow all these things are connected. Could imaginary bears have something to do with it? Or the young scholars currently lost in the far reaches of hell? Handyman Jack believes he can make a portal to hell himself with the help of his fleet of miniature porcelain mechanized hot air balloons and perhaps the powers of Archibald the Professor of Arcane Knowledge. But they need a human sacrifice to fill out the picture. Just then the doorbell rings.

Greetings card from the front lines
A war is being waged in hell between different factions of demons, while Simone and Isabel sit on the hill above watching each with a pleasant grin plastered on face, or Isabel is any case, while Simone is being sucked into the earth and back in the infirmary Grammar Instructor Gundrun is violently ill. Could this be morning sickness from the anti-christ growing in her womb? Did a giant vagina just appear in the sky? What are the faeries up to? And as for the imaginary bears…

In Rome, in the Costanzi Theatre, packed to capacity, while I was listening to the orchestral performance of your overwhelming Futurist music, with my Futurist friends, Marinetti, Boccioni, Carrà, Balla, Soffici, Papini and Cavacchioli, a new art came into my mind which only you can create, the Art of Noises, the logical consequence of your marvelous innovations.
Ancient life was all silence. In the nineteenth century, with the invention of the machine, Noise was born. Today, Noise triumphs and reigns supreme over the sensibility of men. For many centuries life went by in silence, or at most in muted tones. The strongest noises which interrupted this silence were not intense or prolonged or varied. If we overlook such exceptional movements as earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, avalanches and waterfalls, nature is silent.
Amidst this dearth of noises, the first sounds that man drew from a pieced reed or streched string were regarded with amazement as new and marvelous things. Primitive races attributed sound to the gods; it was considered sacred and reserved for priests, who used it to enrich the mystery of their rites.
