When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.
It's amazing to think that Harry Partch, Fred Frith and Snakefinger are secretly members of Mannheim Steamroller...just play any Steamroller album backwards and you can hear..."we had to make some dough, it's easy at Christmas 'ya know..."
Virtually every 'pugnician I know between the ages of 40 and 60 love their Cdz. "Al? You ever check them out live? I saw them last week doing their Xmas show. You should have been their! They were rockin! I was pumped!"

I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

ReplyDeleteYes, I spelled Carlos' last name like that on purpose. I don't give a yxishgg
