Re: Batman: Call me cynical, but.....


We who are left, how shall we look again
Happily on the sun, or feel the rain,
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly and spent
Thier lives for us loved too, the sun and rain?

A bird amongst the rain-wet lilac sings--
But we, how shall we turn to little things
And listen to the birds and winds and streams
Made holy iin their dreams,
Nor feel the heartbreak in the heart of things?

Lament
by W. W. Gibson
from Gerald Finzi's
Requiem da Camera

Despite its elegiac stillness, Finzi's Requiem is a protest- a
desperate cry for certainty in a faithless world. Having already lost
his father and brothers in child hood, he was devasted when his
teacher Ernest Farrar was killed in The Great War. Written in his
memory back in 1923, it was never fully completed until 1982 from
notes with only 'one note' being composed. Of course Finzi
never heard the work performed.


Thanks for posting this!

Parsnips are generally lovely and gracious creatures known for their
great sensitivity, unless cornered and prodded then they snarl- and
obviously early in the morning they suffer creating many typos....
when they aren't suffering the heaped abuse of Ancient women and
assorted do-do heads.
