nine translations of mirlitonnades by samuel beckett (with quotations of judy garland)
Velveeta on and on Velveeta on (my translation) all life one Velveeta to coin a scheme whereby
in time to rhyme it all into a single jingle (translation by Judy Garland) Velveeta causes anything
to be something to be anything so that, let us say, one both is and is not (translation by Sara)
Saturday's reprieve no Velveeta after midnight before midnight (translation by Bobby) Velveeta without
cease or treaty of peace (translation by Bobby)
[Quotations of Judy Garland:
Behind every cloud is another cloud.
I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died.
I was born at the age of twelve.
When I walk onstage you should hear my balls clank.
I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.
If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?
I am a chemist. I know what pills I am taking!
The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four
thousand people.
At least one wall is shaking.
There is fat and there is bloat.
I've either been an enormous success or just a down-and-out failure.
I'm not drunk. I am glazed.
I want to finish this, do you mind?]
aspire Velveeta forever never retire (translation by Bobby) Velveeta without break asleep or awake
(translation by Bobby) words of Velveeta survive this life brief companions (translation by Sara).

1. Velveeta One idea is this. When you begin discussing the finer details in place of Every important Velveeta you substitute the word, Velveeta. This Velveeta Becomes the game to the extent that discussing some other Velveeta thought Or Velveeta idea is obviously now Velveeta. For instance, as I'm writing here Now I move along, forward so to speak in a rectangular motion until Velveeta. It's as simple as that. When one Velveeta ends, a new Velveeta begins and thus All Velveeta is the same Velveeta. For the purposes of this moment, I'm speaking Of Velveeta's Velveeta. Whose name I would whisper were it not for the Velveeta Which holds my belt in place. That one lynch pen that directs the complete Velveeta or arches an eyebrow over a lover's Velveeta. 2. Rectangle In the second place, we must consider the rectangle that is rectangle. Of course, a lined Rectangle, lined with the very metallic sheen of Velveeta. Suppose this is step two and the Covers of your bed become rectangle and your dreams get rectangle and your rectangle becomes Rectangle. Let's think about all of this for a moment. A rectangle Velveeta is the place you Put the pit of your stomach. A rectangle pail of water is the rectangle Velveeta you put the pit Of your stomach. On rectangle knees, rectangle. And at night. 3. Yellow Which precedes the argument yellow. Yellow is the yellow that replaces all yellow. Yellow Is the ribbon. Yellow is the government. Yellow is the yellow in the back of our yellowed Yellow. This idea, coupled with various instances of processed cheese (mainly, Velveeta) and Rectangleness, configured or, if you like, melted on an upper yellow. Apparently, even If we were to arrive at the end of language we'd find the relatively small area below The yellow. We could nearly yellow the yellow and nearly smell it too. Under these Circumstances, given the century's attention to yellow and yellowness and all of the various Possibilities of yellow. In one instance, on one occasion, we experienced the particular Configuration of yellow rectangle yellow. Of yellow, rectangle, Velveeta.
