MANDARIN-MEALS
There is a dish of sharks' fins and of sea-slug, well set in birds' nests... oh!
Also there is a soufflé most exquisite of Chow-Chow.
These did I devise.
But I have never tasted anything to match the
which she gave me before She went away.

COMMENTARY (ΠΖ)

The Sigil is taken from a Gnostic talisman, and refers to the Sacrament.
