The Circus 'Stella Nova' Visits Ilpoinen

I have seen it, Friend, but still say 'It's impossible!'

The animals have done me unnatural things on hoofs, strangenesses with snouts. (A beast will become a man for sugar or fish, doubtless.)

An acrobat is truly a god, but the clown is all: horsetrainer, trumpeter,

acrobat; and clown, too.

I can hardly see the musicians in their dark corner. Probably they are themselves.

but doesn't their music come from a tape somewhere out there in a locked van?
