°Here, let us remark that the Tantric Tactilism's illuminating art originates from a culture far from modern Europe, it far precedes the pale roughness and velvet ot the Futurist Tactilists and is known till today in only a small circle. The classical works of Eat-art are generally also unknown by the public, for example: the Chinese emperor's breakfast, the wine transfigurated from water, the multiplicated loaves, the mind expanding food of the Shaman, the witches' kitchen, the Hawaiian punches made according to secret recipies, or—with the exception of being probably more widely known—the Holy Wafer.^ At the same time they are much more efficient in torture than the auditive and visual arts, and they are used at all times in a wide range. They are often experienced as spontaneous natural incidents in times of sickness (famine) and hunger (epidemics) just as the wind blows the grains of sand under the eyelids, auditively in strange, ravishing harmonies or visually as the sun sets behind the army's warehouse. Let us add to all this, that while millions of people can live without the arts relating to hearing or seeing, the same millions haven't acquired the large scale forms of the world of proportions which relates to the senses of touch and taste.^^
