The Magician's House

[poliphilo]

I dreamed I'd been thrown out of the magician's house. I'd been his pupil but his magic was magnificently black and scarlet and I couldn't get the hang of it (and maybe I hadn't actually been trying too hard.) Nevertheless I was hanging around in the yard- in the hope of picking up crumbs of wisdom or of sneaking back inside- past the huge, warty, demonic doorkeeper- in the entourage of a legitimate visitor...

I am reminded of the magician whose pupil I had been in a dream, whose magic used to rumble down from upstairs and electrify the floors. I didn't last long there, either.

I really like that line.
