The he begins to smile, to imitate a man admiring, begging, obliging. He sets his right foot forward, his left behind, with his back bent over, his head raised, with his gaze looking directly into another person's eyes, his mouth half open, his arms stretched out towards some object. He waits for his orders. He receives them. He dashes off, comes back. He's done the job and is giving an account of it. He attends to everything. THEN HE BEGINS TO SMILE TO IMITATE A MAN ADMIRING BEGGING OBLIGING HE SETS HIS RIGHT FOOT FORWARD HIS LEFT BEHIND WITH HIS BACK BENT OVER HIS HEAD RAISED WITH HIS GAZE LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO ANOTHER PERSON'S EYES HIS MOUTH HALF OPEN HIS ARMS STRETCHED OUT TOWARDS SOME OBJECT HE WAITS FOR HIS ORDERS HE RECEIVES THEM HE DASHES OFF COMES BACK HE'S DONE THE JOB AND IS GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF IT HE ATTENDS TO EVERYTHING
 cram themselves with everything while others whose stomachs are just as demanding as theirs and have a recurring hunger like theirs have nothing to chew on. The worst thing is the way our need compels us to a certain posture. The man in need doesn't walk like another man--he jumps, he grovels, he wriggles, he crawls. He spends his life taking up and carrying out various positions. ME: What are these positions? HIM: Go and ask Noverre. The world offers many more positions than his art can imitate. ME: So there you are, too, if I can use your expression or rather Montaigne's, perched on the epicycle of Mercury, contemplating the different pantomimes of the human species. HIM: No, no I'm telling you. I'm too heavy to raise myself so high. Those misty regions I leave to the cranes. I move around from one piece of earth to another. I look around me, and I take up my positions, or I amuse myself with positions which I have derived from others. I'm an excellent mimic, as you're going to see. 'S A DAMNABLE ECONOMY WITH MEN WHO CRAM THEMSELVES WITH EVERYTHING WHILE OTHERS WHOSE STOMACHS ARE JUST AS DEMANDING AS THEIRS AND HAVE A RECURRING HUNGER LIKE THEIRS HAVE NOTHING TO CHEW ON THE WORST THING IS THE WAY OUR NEED COMPELS US TO A CERTAIN POSTURE THE MAN IN NEED DOESN'T WALK LIKE ANOTHER MAN HE JUMPS HE GROVELS HE WRIGGLES HE CRAWLS HE SPENDS HIS LIFE TAKING UP AND CARRYING OUT VARIOUS POSITIONS ME WHAT ARE THOSE POSITIONS HIM GO AND ASK NORT THE WORLD OFFERS MANY MORE POSITIONS THAN HIS ART CAN IMITATE ME SO THERE YOU ARE TOO IF I CAN USE YOUR EXPRESSION OR RATHER MONTAIGNS PERCHED ON THE EPICYCLE OF MERCURY CONTEMPLATING THE DIFFERENT PANTOMIMES OF THE HUMAN SPECIES HIM NO NO I'M TELLING YOU I'M TOO HEAVY TO RAISE MYSELF SO HIGH THOSE MISTY REGIONS I LEAVE TO THE CRANES I MOVE AROUND FROM ONE PIECE OF EARTH TO ANOTHER I LOOK AROUND ME AND I TAKE UP MY POSITIONS NOR I AMUSE MYSELF WITH POSITIONS WHICH I HAVE DERIVED FROM OTHERS I'M AN EXCELLENT MIMIC AS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
