About Me |
|
| A LOVE for the 19th Century The gramophone was affirming in tones there was no denying, triumphant yet valedictory: Dispersed are we, who have come together. But, the gramophone asserted, let us retain whatever made that harmony." -VIRGINIA WOOLF, BETWEEN THE ACTS Laura Nyro The Soul's Expression WITH stammering lips and insufficient sound I strive and struggle to deliver right That music of my nature, day and night With dream and thought and feeling interwound And inly answering all the senses round With octaves of a mystic depth and height Which step out grandly to the infinite From the dark edges of the sensual ground. Through portals of the sense, sublime and whole, And utter all myself into the air....... Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1844 Lightfoot and Dylan Canadian Pacific Railway train circa 1886 |

My Interests |

First Harmonica accompanied by my very French cousin Prolong the Night Prolong the night, Goddess who sets us aflame! Hold back from us the golden-sandalled dawn! Already on the sea the first faint gleam Of day is coming on. Sleeping under your veils, protect us yet, Having forgotten the cruelty day may give! The wine of darkness, wine of the stars let Overwhelm us with love! Since no one knows what dawn will come, Bearing the dismal future with its sorrows In its hands, we tremble at full day, our dream Fears all tomorrows. Oh! keeping our hands on our still-closed eyes, Let us vainly recall the joys that take flight! Goddess who delights in the ruin of the rose, Prolong the night! Renée Vivien, 1877-1909 |

I'd like to meet:Some Extra Ordinary Canadians"Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered." Leonard Cohen "You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining. Joni Mitchell Sarah Polley |
