Before the glory days of Nero
and the lighting of the streets of Rome
with the burning bodies of Christians, Agrippina
(Nero's mother) divinized
his predecessor Claudius with a plate of mushrooms,
though the older man had already been declared a god
in Britain a few years ago. In Britain,
more than a thousand years later, came King Henry
who preceded the Anarchy with his death
over a surfeit of lampreys. Some sort of anarchy preceded
the crowd that shot, beat, hanged, and ate the livers
of Johan De Witt and his brother Cornelis. Reszo Kasztner,
who some people claim sold his soul
to the devil, leading about 450,000 Jews
to Auschwitz for the sake
of a chosen 1,600: all that happened to him
was get shot. The same happened to Kennedy,
McKinley, Garfield, and the Great Emancipator
Lincoln. Assassins, like their victims,
sure have lost their glamor.
