be the perfect host

put out the dried fruits, cherries and figs

next to the soaked cakes of tea and honey

set your table with the finest salts

don a pleasent attitude

offer too much wine

a stained glass bottle of yesterday's rainwater

expect nothing less than what your company will bring

petty greetings, consumption for the sake of expected judging

right there as you dine

converse of things similar you have not offered

things you clearly thought less

deliver greasy delicate meats to be eaten just with hands

watch at the challenge of affect reaming through effect

serve a single flower in hot water rather than hand towels

leave the evening just before it's close

say nothing as you slip away

offer no good - night
