"The dictionary I have..."

"The dictionary I have, or at least which is there, is an old sepia colored dictionary without a cover and without first pages which begins with acephaly and closes on pantheon; since it's missing the cover and the first pages, probably also sepia, I can not give the manufacturing firm, however it exists and lives with me as it served my mother who left it to me unless I forgot to give it back to her and so from generation to generation."--Christophe Tarkos (tr. Fiona Templeton) from Process
