Delius

["Forward, Jonathan" <JForward@sitgbsd1.telecom.com.au>]

My latest book club catalogue contained a flyer advertising some new CD
pressings - one of them being (new Kate?!? - NO!!!) Delius: Sea Drift,
Songs of Farewell, and Songs of Sunset. If nothing else, the man was
rather good with song titles - the track listing for Songs of Sunset
possessing the peculiar beauties of poetry:
 "A song of the setting sun; Cease smiling, Dear! a little while be
 sad; Pale amber sunlight falls; Exceeding sorrow consumeth my sad
 heart; By the waters of separation; See how the trees and the osiers
 lithe; I was not sorrowful, I could not weep; They are not long, the
 weeping and the laughter"


The thrill and the hurting...

P.S. The CD cover? A wave rolling onto the shore, the white horses
represented by a line of real, galloping white horses. Yes, white
horses both literal and littoral. Ain't life grand?
