JOURNEY TO CHINA 3: THE CUSTOMS. Having arrived at customs, the traveller is examined, ransacked, undressed and rifled -His clothes are not admitted to [this country], since they make them in China; -His wig [is], because they do not make them; -His boots, because leather is prohibited; -His clyster-pump, because it is a mechanical object with a suspect use... they seize everything and make him pay duty for the rest, after which, he is as free as the air..

(Left) The little village on the far mountainside was already out of sight, and spring was coming around again. The grape trees were like large ailing snakes creeping under the coping stones of the wall. A brown light moved about in the tepid air.

He differentiated things in this way, like a fluttering butterfly
