The Tattooed Infant
Dreamed 1929/6/3 by Jindrich Styrsky
I am with Jindrich Honzl at a dance at the Budiŝ Inn in Vermêrovice. We're enjoying ourselves. But there is a plot against us. We intend to secretly slip away. At night we flee through the garden, through fields of beet and potato. We hide in a thicket in the woods.
Honzl and I are bound to poles or to beams in the middle of a barn or a gym. Around us in an orgy of dance are ten- to twelve-year-old TATTOOED BOYS. They are armed with sticks and make threatening gestures at us. In their midst we also see an infant TATTOOED WITH PORNOCRAPHIC IMAGES.
