Excerpt from Constantine
Les indigènes se trempent dans des bassins naturels où le grouillement de leurs épaules et de leurs crânes tout ras produit l'eñet de morceaux de chocolat fondant dans une énorme marmite. Le mercredi, jour réservé aux femmes, sur la route se croisent des bandes de Mauresques, empaquete'es dans leurs haicks ne découvrant que l'oeil, leur oeil noir de gazelle si bête et si grand. Passent aussi des groupes de juives, raides dans leur cuirasse brodée d'or, avec ces manches de gaze à travers lesquelles on voit le bras qui palpite; le bras est de satin, rond et ferme la juive 15 ans; la juive en a 30 c'est une informe masse de chair blafarde, monstrueuse à l'épaule. Et les ]uives se causent en miaulzint, et les Mauresques rient aux éclats ou lancent des you - you sonores; et tout ce monde féminin s'ébat loin du regard des mâles avec l'entrain bruyant de prisonnières auxquelles on viendrait de donner la clef des champs.
