Many said that they had not eaten since the quake struck, and crowds fought to get near the few public taps that still trickled water. "They're eating rats and anything else they can get their hands on," said one Red Cross official who reached Guatemala's devastated interior by helicopter...
...suitors in order to choose a husband--into a grotesque, surrealistic fantasy. All Phylissa's wooers first enter gallantly, then run scared as her lust switches on. Little Napoleon, terror-struck, stabs himself in the groin. Max-Pipifax makes it further, to bed with the empress, only to be eaten by her highness--who proceeds to throw up on his flesh.

From such crude, fragile souvenirs of primitive Christianity, the range expands: 10th century enamels, 11th century ivories, medieval reliquaries of silver and gold containing various fragments of sanctified bodies, and so on, to the ecclesiastic baroque and rococo confections produced from the metals of the New World...
