"Jean de la Tour-Ephren
are ... Jean-Ephren de la Tour, dancer at the Paradise Lost. the lights are pointed at me, every night, from head to toe, and brighten my skin. Every evening, with silver wings attached to his shoulders, I do my show as a true American patrol which is fired and disappears in a puff. United for a nation of dancers and acrobats. Arouse the applause of the whole room, standing in front of me, ready to peel his hands, while secretly, behind the scenes, al'ombra of fanfare, jugglers and the enchantress id serprenti indulge in filthy jealousy.
