    ARE YOU KIDDING? Eurydice is MY Cruxshadows song and you know WHY? The very first time I saw them in concert, Rogue DANCED WITH ME while they played that song. Wireless headset mike on, hands on my shoulders, singing it RIGHT INTO MY FACE. MY SONG FOREVER.

    I haven't heard of Meireles, must remember the name next time I'm in a bookshop. My poetry shelf is overdue some new additions...!

    That looks very cool. Pablo Neruda on it too - I've been reading a fair bit of Latin American writers recently, especially Isabel Allende.

    Yeah, I love Camus too, The Outsider and The Plague are two of my favourite books ever. I see you listen to a lot of poetry too - Yeats was great. Especially Byzantium and Circus Animals' Desertion.

    YAY glad you found it. Did I ever give you full liner notes for that mix? Do you want me to? Is quite comical, really.

Sobre mim

Boris Lermontov: "The Ballet of The Red Shoes" is from a fairy tale by Hans Andersen. It is the story of a young girl who is devoured with an ambition to attend a dance in a pair of red shoes. She gets the shoes and goes to the dance. For a time, all goes well and she is very happy. At the end of the evening she is tired and wants to go home, but the red shoes are not tired. In fact, the red shoes are never tired. They dance her out into the street, they dance her over the mountains and valleys, through fields and forests, through night and day. Time rushes by, love rushes by, life rushes by, but the red shoes go on.

Julian Craster: What happens in the end?

Boris Lermontov: Oh, in the end, she dies.

***

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

***

It was true that Odette played vilely, but often the most memorable impression of a piece of music is one that has arisen out of a jumble of wrong notes struck by unskilled fingers upon a tuneless piano.

***

Jenny said, when she was just about five years old
'Hey, you know, there's nothin' happening at all, not at all
Every time I put on the radio
You know, there's nothin' goin' down at all, not at all'
But, one fine morning, she hears a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all, hey, not at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock'n'roll

***

Orpheus with his Lute made Trees,
And the Mountaine tops that freeze,
Bow themselues when he did sing.
To his Musicke, Plants and Flowers
Euer sprung; as Sunne and Showers,
There had made a lasting Spring.
Euery thing that heard him play,
Euen the Billowes of the Sea,
Hung their heads, & then lay by.
In sweet Musicke is such Art,
Killing care, & griefe of heart,
Fall asleepe, or hearing dye.
