HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

it's lovely lovely! you might be left with a dissatisfied feeling and a whatthehell feeling at the end of it - but i think that's the intention - that rushdie's playing with us, deliberately undermining himself to prove something else
