The Persecution, of Q.V. D’Oeil In Trick Handwriting from a Poisoned Pen
-

- Persecution: it must be unjust & undeserved; the
victim ought to be defenseless; however, if the
action is done skillfully, the persecuted will inquire
of himself, of his God, of the passing stranger,
“Why must this happen to me”?
& none of these should be able to answer him, or
to ease his suffering in any way.
In addition to the sadistical pleasures derived from
observing his victim’s anguish, the tyrant can
amuse himself by constructing ingenious &
eloquent arguments in his own defense which, if
made with love & care, may come at last to be
regarded as imperishable works of art & treasures
of world culture. {Consider, in this connexion,
the Great Pyramid at Gizeh in Egypt, the Great
Wall of China, & Rockefeller Center, in the City
of New York} The tyrant ought, of course, to
choose as the object of his persecution, a victim
for whom other persons will feel no more than a
conventional amount of sympathy, i.e. it should
not be a blind or crippled person or a child. The
ordinary citizen, hearing of the persecution of Q-V.
D’Oeil, for example, might say “Tush. ISN’T that a
shame. We’re going to miss him,” but the citizen,
as he says this recollects a few of the minor out-
rages perpetrated by the said Mr. D’Oeil in the
past—sighs in momentary sympathy & continues
with his own affairs.
-
- Not so many years ago, Q-V. D’Oeil was a terrify-
ing young apparition who, mounted a Harley
Davidson motorcycle, struck fear of imminent
destruction into the hearts of the pachincos of the
Mission District. Hearing the roar of his giant
machine, Madre mio! It is Q-V. D’Oeil! [There]
is no escape from death!!
