     Surd Vilanius Cuchumberlain, tempaxial sassenach plenimpotentiary, had not yet swapt away bad Czechs for farigold Deutschmarks; nor, tho varsouvianafter, had Hurtler spurspewed tygers versus warses so Warsaw saw war; Mussolman Ez Punt, valueur of gombeens, rover with short fuse, had not yet rearrived in Nord-Amerika on this side the crazy mishmosh of St. Elizabeth's (ora pro Ezra, Immaculata!) from Rapallo to repello and rue below, taraboom; nor yet had Sweeney Mac Suibhne offered no quarter, no Horlicks and zephyrs, no Daunty Gouty Shopkeeper, not on yer Nelliot!  No voice from Chicago bellowsed handers-on and her Zogs (ein augenblick, out of the Marzo-pan into the mire) to trillingions in their prides; nor had that Nobel Southron sung upraptoriously but inhaudibly to faraway pelegrims of the indubitability of the rumen spirit, in casque or p'int; nor had that other importently earnest Nobel earl Ham-on-Wray set his gaff-er to sea Savarin Rodolphe in flays (if ewe gnu sushi like I); nor yet had an Erste unnamable Franco-graf unmellowdramatized his chess Play (godot, caitiff!); and no red-letter end to Newton's artconceal (wilkommen aus Londres, sloths and he-heroes) had a pyncheon gabbled for his V's-á-vis, that crime ofFall 37.
