Irruptions of subliminal reveries: Madame Hélène
Smith, (Muller)
recites a medley of poems
in Martian dialect
for CK
March 25, 1892 – Eleven persons around a large and heavy dining table
of oak with two leaves
April 1 – Violent movements of the table, due to a spirit who calls
himself David
Mlle Smith in her normal state
Phenomena of hypermnesia, true presentiments, visions, superficial
hypersomnambulisms
There are times, when in spite of herself, she feels inclined to speak
in distinct rhymes
Hélène told me one Sunday that she had been possessed
several times during the day by the
hallucinatory image of a straw hat
After sighs and hiccoughs, she enters into Martian somnambulism: Késin outidjé
February 16, 1896 --The idea of a special handwriting belonging to the
planet Mars occurs
for the first time:
cé
êvé plêva
to di
bénèz
éssat riz
tès
midée durée
Arguments. Heated exchange. Gruff expressions. In reaction to Flournoy
saying Martian
resembled French too greatly, Hélène writes in Uranian:
lalato lito namito bo té zozoti zolota matito yoto
An American lady, a Mme Smead constructs a Martian novel, then another
set on Jupiter,
backed by visions of extra-terrestrial spirits
There is rivalry, an upping of the spiritualist ante
Hélène writes in the language of planet Nazar:
spik antik flok skak mak tabu milahatt
Saussure assures us he isn’t so sure
It is evening: in the drawing room with its subdued light and
atmosphere, Hélène Smith, back
from her day’s work as a model employee in a commercial establishment
is putting on a seance
for a small circle of the initiated. Today Hélène is
speaking Martian, tomorrow she may speak
Sanskrit
It is evening. The table is empty – the oak grain gleams
It is night. Geneva. Hélène Smith is sleeping. Her breath
is warm on the cold bolster. In her
dreams, someone is knocking loudly at the door in the street. There has
been a discovery!
Awake! Awake! Artificial fruit glitters oddly under its sconce. The
impression of a Martian’s
fingertip, every tiny whorl visible, appears in the meniscus in
Hélène Smith’s ewer of
trembling water. It starts to shape letters in a unknown language.
Phantasmal, the drapes. Phantasmal, the blinds.

nouns
and after-effects, well-versed but what in rippling the traffic I
combust in convertible
valors and let the adjectives object where they will to the fringes of
day’s obeisance on what
grounds citizens pay heed to decorous logics and HumVee-like
roadmasters to turn the corners
past green glass men walking into your rights where who knows where or
what or when one
finds oneself part of staring upwards analysing moods and extraneous
folds of oceanic
particulars in a sky-bergs burnishings making sure the cuff and
uncomfortable label are soft to
the neck and the growl of early enquiry somehow grants us a walking, a
codifiable routine for
stenographers of minute population-changes and the statistical
recurrence of certain shadow-
formats in devout fringes lingers on well past past, devotion conjured
by liquid screens,
combust in velours of hydrogen now knowable weapon of sun in a rhetoric
not used since the
Kyoto impasse and fine I say, settle down now it’s time for the waves
to approach us and we
not them for the answering rays’ intersections, gem-like, held in
facetted confrontation, face-
