NOTES
* At opposite ends of the city.
* Perhaps Gonçalves Dias was partly responsible for the awakening of interest in the Brazilian Indian, the “noble savage,” in the middle of the nineteenth century. Almost every one of the barons created by Dom Pedro II, the last Emperor, took an Indian name and Indian names are still in common use. There is also the opera Guarany by Carlos Gomes, to bear evidence to this continuing fashion for all things Indian. “The Slave Ship,” having been considered bad art by the more sophisticated for decades, has, of late, made something of a comeback, owing partly to new humanitarian, anti-racist feelings, and partly to a brilliant young group of reciters of verse, the Jongleurs of São Paulo, who have included it in their repertory with great success.
* Brandt & Brandt — the MMS is with them
* “There are sequins”
† I find it hard — maybe there is some I don’t know of
‡ I’m also extremely fond of Schwitters — have one here that has to be watched for termites and mildew constantly
* Perhaps I’ll see you there—
* as if he’d made a discovery
* the Presbyterian church
* Aunt Maud had a very good alto and sang to me a lot, too
* And had the beginnings of St. Vitus Dance along with everything else—
