[ilds] DYING CAMEL

[Godshalk, William (godshawl)]

This is certainly an example of postmodern fragmentation. Humpty-Dumpty had a great loss -- like Jake's thing.

Subject: [ilds] DYING CAMEL

Recently I saw a graphic image in “Time” Magazine --  a   center fold page of a camel being sacrificed by the victorious Libyans.  I remember reading many years ago in the “Alexandria Quartet’ about a camel being hacked to death – limb by limb .  I write a weekly column for our local newspaper, “Lincoln County  News”. called “ All Four Feet”. After seeing the horror story played out on the pages of “Time”  I remembered the dying camel in one of the quartets.  I can’t find it.  Can any one help.  I’d like to include a quote in my next column thanks so much for you help.

Long ago I read the entire ‘Quartet’ while being confined to bed with the pneumonia .  I remember it so well.  Every page was a thrill.  But that was oh so long ago.
