                     –the princess is melancholy
                     what can the matter be?

(note)

It rains luminously in the metropolis: a Japanese woman crosses the sky, the most beautiful violinist in the world plays in Times Square, Pan Am, graffiti, the Taviani brothers imitate the great Fellini, races, languages, the Bronx looks like Beirut. Light, camera: the confusion is complete, angels sell their bodies on the docks.
