…there’s time�?/FONT> Finally embarking
The canoe travels upstream
Inky waves
Mark and mar the shore. Oh Captain My Captain
Cries a young voice
Seeking the commander
She cries o’er and o’er
oar slaps ink
And they glide. In their wake
Are monuments
To moments
Totems with faces grotesque
Piled grins and grimaces
Frowning smiling skyward. Aye! There’s the rub
Monuments to moments
Faces piled high
Oars slapping ink
As they glide
O’er and o’er
As waves mark and mar
The canoe slips on�?/FONT> Oh Captain My Captain�?BR> She never finds shore.

Xer, do you not like Wagner's music? Wagner is my choice when I want power music. As Beethoven and Mozart stand alone from the other Enlightenments, Wagner stands alone among the Romantics. His influence on 20th century is astounding. Star Wars is a space adaptation of The Ring story, and John Williams' music is not only Wagnerian, but he told me, crafted to be like a melodrama, to help the audience boo the villain, and cheer the hero. |

No, I don't Pikes. Guess it's a matter of taste. When I listen to Wagner it feels like someone is jumping up and down on my head.
Mozart I love, also Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Verdi, Strauss... Gods, more than I can even remember to list. Just never cared for Vaahgner's work.
Loved the Elmer! |

That's totally OK, Xer. I feel the same way about Mahler, whom I call Mauler. |
