Christ
on
the
crapper
,
he
thought
.
Africa
.
For
the
ghosts
of
dead
tribes
.
Wiped
out
to
make
a
land
of
—
what
?
Who
knew
?
Maybe
even
the
master
architects
in
Berlin
did
not
know
.
Bunch
of
automatons
,
building
and
toiling
away
.
Building
?
Grinding
down
.
Ogres
out
of
a
paleontology
exhibit
,
at
their
task
of
making
a
cup
from
an
enemy
’
s
skull
,
the
whole
family
industriously
scooping
out
the
contents
—
the
raw
brains
–
first
,
to
eat
.
Then
useful
utensils
of
men
’
s
leg
bones
.
Thrifty
,
to
think
not
only
of
eating
the
people
you
did
not
like
,
but
eating
them
out
of
their
own
skull
.
The
first
technicians
!
Prehistoric
man
in
a
sterile
white
lab
coat
in
some
Berlin
university
lab
,
experimenting
with
uses
to
which
other
people
’
s
skull
,
skin
,
ears
,
fat
could
be
put
to
.
Ja
,
Herr
Doktor
.
A
new
use
for
the
big
toe
;
see
,
one
can
adapt
the
joint
for
a
quick
-
acting
cigarette
lighter
mechanism
.
Now
,
if
only
Herr
Krupp
can
produce
it
in
quantity
…
It
horrified
him
,
this
thought
:
the
ancient
gigantic
cannibal
near
-
man
flourishing
now
,
ruling
the
world
once
more
.
We
spent
a
million
years
escaping
him
,
Frink
thought
,
and
now
he
’
s
back
.
And
not
merely
as
the
adversary
…
but
as
the
master
.
"
…
we
can
deplore
,
"
the
radio
,
the
voice
of
the
little
yellow
-
bellies
from
Tokyo
was
saying
.
God
,
Frink
thought
;
and
we
called
them
monkeys
,
these
civilized
bandy
-
legged
shrimps
who
would
no
more
set
up
gas
ovens
than
they
would
melt
their
wives
into
sealing
wax
.
"
…
and
we
have
deplored
often
in
the
past
the
dreadful
waste
of
humans
in
this
fanatical
striving
which
sets
the
broader
mass
of
men
wholly
outside
the
legal
community
.
"
They
,
the
Japs
,
were
so
strong
on
law
.
"
…
To
quote
a
Western
saint
familiar
to
all
:
‘
What
profit
it
a
man
if
he
gain
the
whole
world
but
in
this
enterprise
lose
his
soul
?
’
"
The
radio
paused
.
Frink
,
tying
his
tie
,
also
paused
.
It
was
the
morning
ablution
.
I
have
to
make
my
pact
with
them
here
,
he
realized
.
Black
-
listed
or
not
;
it
’
d
be
death
for
me
if
I
left
Japanese
-
controlled
land
and
showed
up
in
the
South
or
in
Europe
—
anywhere
in
the
Reich
.
I
’
ll
have
to
come
to
terms
with
old
Wyndam
-
Matson
.
Seated
on
his
bed
,
a
cup
of
lukewarm
tea
beside
him
,
Frink
got
down
his
copy
of
the
I
Ching
.
From
their
leather
tube
he
took
the
forty
-
nine
yarrow
stalks
.
He
considered
,
until
he
had
his
thoughts
properly
controlled
and
his
questions
worked
out
.
Aloud
he
said
,
"
How
should
I
approach
Wyndam
-
Matson
in
order
to
come
to
decent
terms
with
him
?
"
He
wrote
the
question
down
on
the
tablet
,
then
began
whipping
the
yarrow
stalks
from
hand
to
hand
until
he
had
the
first
line
,
the
beginning
.
An
eight
.
Half
the
sixty
-
four
hexagrams
eliminated
already
.
He
divided
the
stalks
and
obtained
the
second
line
.
Soon
,
being
so
expert
,
he
had
all
six
lines
;
the
hexagram
lay
before
him
,
and
he
did
not
need
to
identify
it
by
the
chart
.
He
could
recognize
it
as
Hexagram
Fifteen
.
Ch
’
ien
.
Modesty
.
Ah
.
The
low
will
be
raised
up
,
the
high
brought
down
,
powerful
families
humbled
;
he
did
not
have
to
refer
to
the
text
—
he
knew
it
by
heart
.
A
good
omen
.
The
oracle
was
giving
him
favorable
council
.
And
yet
he
was
a
bit
disappointed
.
There
was
something
fatuous
about
Hexagram
Fifteen
.
Too
goody
-
goody
.
Naturally
he
should
be
modest
.
Perhaps
there
was
an
idea
in
it
,
however
.
After
all
,
he
had
no
power
over
old
W
-
M
.
He
could
not
compel
him
to
take
him
back
.
All
he
could
do
was
adopt
the
point
of
view
of
Hexagram
Fifteen
;
this
was
that
sort
of
moment
,
when
one
had
to
petition
,
to
hope
,
to
await
with
faith
.
Heaven
in
its
time
would
raise
him
up
to
his
old
job
or
perhaps
even
to
something
better
.
