That gives me almost as much pain, for surely it's agonizing to watch the torment of someone who is busy giving me a representation of pleasure. If he simply has to show me a patient under torture, then draw a curtain between the man and me, something to conceal me. THAT GIVES ME ALMOST AS MUCH PAIN FOR SURELY IT'S AGONIZING TO WATCH THE TORMENT OF SOME ONE WHO IS BUSY GIVING ME A REPRESENTATION OF PLEASURE IF HE SIMPLY HAS TO SHOW ME A PATIENT UNDER TORTURE THEN DRAW A CURTAIN BETWEEN THE MAN AND ME SOMETHING TO CONCEAL ME
reful, I say to him. You're going to hurt yourself. HIM: Don't worry. They can stand it. For ten years I've given them a hard time. Whatever they felt like, the little buggers had to get used to it and learn to strike the keys and fly over the strings. So right now they're working. Yes, they're working fine. At that moment he takes on the pose of a violin player. He hums an allegro from Locatelli, and his right arm imitates the movement of the bow, while his left hand and his fingers seem to move along the length of the neck. If he hits a wrong note, he stops, tightens or loosens the string and plucks the string with his nail, to make sure that it's just right. He resumes playing the piece where he has stopped. He keeps time with his feet, and thrashes about with his head, feet, hands, arms, and body. Perhaps at some concert of spiritual music you've had occasion to see Ferrari or Chiabran or some other virtuoso in the same sort of convulsions, presenting a picture of the same torture. UP DISLOCATING THE BONES ME BE CAREFUL I SAY TO HIM YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF HIM DON'T WORRY THEY CAN STAND IT FOR YEARS I'VE GIVEN THEM A HARD TIME WHATEVER THEY FELT LIKE THE LITTLE BUGGERS HAD TO GET USED TO IT AND LEARN TO STRIKE THE KEYS AND FLY OVER THE STRINGS SO RIGHT NOW THEY'RE WORKING YES THEY'RE WORKING FINE AT THAT MOMENT HE TAKES ON THE POSE OF A VIOLIN PLAYER HE HUMS AN ALLEGRO FROM LOCATELLI AND HIS RIGHT ARM IMITATES THE MOVEMENT OF THE BOW WHILE HIS LEFT HAND AND HIS FINGERS SEEM TO MOVE ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE NECK IF HE HITS A WRONG NOTE HE STOPS TIGHTENS OR LOOSENS THE STRING AND PLUCKS THE STRING WITH HIS NAIL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S JUST RIGHT HE RESUMES PLAYING THE PIECE WHERE HE HAS STOPPED HE KEEPS TIME WITH HIS FEET AND THRASHES ABOUT WITH HIS HEAD FEET HANDS ARMS AND BODY PERHAPS AT SOME CONCERT OF SPIRITUAL MUSIC YOU'VE HAD OCCASION TO SEE FERRARI OR CHIABRAN OR SOME OTHER VIRTUOSO IN THE SAME SORT OF CONVULSIONS PRESENTING A PICTURE OF THE SAME TORTURE
