It depends on whether he was using "terra" in nominative or ablative case. He's cunning that way.

I make no claim to know what's really going in UK but this seems to bode even more ill for artists everywhere.

It's been downhill since Lascaux. We should have stayed in the trees where we clearly belong.

Hebdomeros and Crevel's Babylon are the only surrealist novels worth reading.

Check out di Chirico's memoirs, such bile, such invective, such loathing of critics and crappy artists.

Precomputer, those of us with fiendishly sharp eyesight did astonishing things to metal and film and paper. And we were paid handsomely for it.

Thanks. It's from a brilliant, goat-oriented parody of AAiW by the Carrollian, Byron Sewell.

Alothk, a central Asian avatar of Alice, is given a ring by a pterodactyl. The event is witnessed by a goat, a giant fanged rat, the piltdown man, a giant insect, a fringed lizard, and other weirdoes.

That's astonishing and depressing at the same time. This is the golden age of scammers, I guess.

Makes one pine for the good old days of getting Writers' Digest from the library for cold leads and then licking lots of stamps.
