It is quite common to find wheat-fields and see nothing but waving wheat. DO FISHES SHUT THEIR EYES? No; fishes do not shut their eyes, and we have already seen that it is quite possible to sleep without the eyes being shut if it were not for the trouble of keeping our eyelids up. Now, an animal cannot shut its eyes unless it has something*to shut them with, and the only things that can shut eyes are eye- lids ; and all the ordinary common fish do not have any eyelids. They are not the only animals like this. If you will look at the snakes in a Zoo for a minute or two you will notice that they always seem to have their eyes wide open with a fixed stare, although they may appear to be, and perhapsare, fastasleep. This is because the .snakes, like the fishes, have no proper eyelids which they can close. But there can be no doubt that when fishes rest, for instance, at the bottom of a pond or river, they sleep in the usual way, only they sleep with their eyes wide open, simply because they cannot shut them. I am walking along a road, beside me are the woods, I can see them quite clearly. The woods, moving slowly beside me. Moving slowly around me and beside me as I walk along the road, the road which leads to my mothers back. After awhile it gets dark and I see a shape in front of me. It is my mother, she is larger than life, much larger than life, larger than death, lying with her back towards me, my history has been carved into her spine. Behind me is a wall of hair, My hair, my future hair and past hair, made into bricks, it is the colour of summer wheat, the wall, the wheat, the prairies, my mothef is in the kitchen cutting my hair, in the prairies, in our house, in the kitchen. There is water near by, high in the clouds, flowing along the land, with its thin veil, a wall, made of water, a wall made of hair and my mother carvings on the mantle piece, beautiful white carv- ings.

The root of all guilt lies deep within the pool of the psyche and is (If | might be so bold) directly related to the true nature of one’s actions or non- actions. Decadently cruising the oceans of one's personal, introspective, artistic whims seems to be a favorite pastime here aboard the luxury liner S.S Emily Carr. Basking in one's own creative aura , lounging in the Cafe, and, of course, the parties in the Concourse Gallery Ballroom are all ways of tasting les hors d'ourves des beaux arts in this grande banquet of self indulgence. Could it be that guilt would flourish in such an environment? Mais non! It can not be pos- sible. Only perhaps if our guests should pause to wonder: Who is navigating? Who is serving the drinks? Who organizes the shuffle board games? And who shovels the coal? It does not matter does it? No, of course, one must not dare hamper this sacred blossoming of creativity! At the first queasy signs of oncoming guilt, one need not feel concern. Simply step out on to the deck and lose yourself in the warm supportive breeze .
