A bowl of nard and thirty pieces of silver; Brief note on a tiger

Description

Abstract:
In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page: "Offer a little more than enough, write a long letter, handwritten, when a note would be enough, make the glass overflow instead of the measured shot, and a sensation of discomfort will hang heavily in the air. It is not fitting to be that generous. As a rule people get suspicious. As when one asks the price of a beautiful jewel and this jewel, being free, perversely goes from the worthy to the worthless concept. If it is free, something is the matter with it. A suspicious something, surreptitious."
