From La Esquella de la torratxa, Barcelona, 1912.
Before binging on tomatoes and vegetables, think about how much better prawns are.
Try not to leaf through the Barcelona newspapers.
If you feel a shiver like this from the intense cold… run to the doctor tomorrow!
As you go sweating through the streets, do not leave the shade for nothing… or leave money to anyone.
If you feel the vomit coming, don’t be frightened, for in the pulpits they also vomit to renounce.
Flee from reckless views, suggestive sensations, and overly ardent impressions.
When you feel very hot, before you drink water… think about how much better wine is.
If you feel a pestilent breath… (a nail pulls out another nail) go to the City Hall!
And, if you find yourself exhausted… remember that Firmly Rooted (Catalan novel) has been there three times already.
Sic Transit Pestilentia
