in the morning horsemouth will turn the page on his countryfile calendar (the usual christmas gift from his parents). he will go from the 3 of fox cubs (april) to the 2 of ducks (may). june looks like the 9 of flowers.
harry taussig (now 82 years old and a famed american primitive guitarist) was (at one point) a tarot card designer.
horsemouth types this in the evening of may eve. it is almost the dusk - horsemouth watched the bit of the devil rides out (from about 35 minutes in to 45 minutes in) covering the events at the witches sabbat. from then on in most of the events take place on mayday and over the night of mayday (horsemouth had not paid enough attention to the chronology of the movie to realize this). events are completed on the day of may 2nd. horsemouth will attempt to watch the film on the days on which the events happen and at the correct times of day.
on mayday itself horsemouth will begin his written investigations into aleksandr blok's time in italy (he begins his visit in venice). this will cover all of may and extend out into june (similarly for the 1871 paris commune timeline)
blok will be in venice until monday next week (may 8th) on may 7th (sunday) he will send a letter to his mum. horsemouth hasn't done the necessary reading yet so he will have to delay telling you about his time there. he needs more sources than just pirog's book. at a minimum he needs to find a translation of the poems (and of the epigraph that opens it and the epitaph that ends it).
it is a grey morning. yesterday horsemouth sat out in the sunshine. watching the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes. he also went for a wander up through the marshes to the cafe in springfield park with ayesha (as usual they discussed the state of the world). all is well with the world but horsemouth is struggling with it a little. as howard remarked he seemed much more relaxed on the saturday (rent rise and meeting done) but it doesn't take long for horsemouth's brain to find something else to worry about.
