The Entire Ground Covered in MattressStephanie Moore got a 1580 on her SATs She took them sick and missed one entire page. She told me once about this French guy—a philosopher who, after growing quite influential lived out his days in a room with no windows and colorful floor pillows smoking hash and watching the movements of giant turtles that he had glued large jewels onto. The turtles must have absorbed the glue through their shells which are porous (so you should never glue or paint live turtles). The glue, the lack of ventilation and the hash smoke— this could not have been healthy for the turtles. But despite that cruelty and despite now not quite remembering if he was really French, or a philosopher or if it was hash or opium he was smoking and despite the many years since I have known Stephanie Moore (though often I wonder how she's doing) despite the Google searches for "french philosopher hash tortoise" and "Stephanie Moore" which yield nothing . . . Despite all that, I think upon it fondly.  |
