John Dowland
rabe489, 23:27h
Flow my tears, fall from your springs,
Exiled for ever let me mourn
Where night’s black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more;
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore;
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved
Since pity is fled,
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown,
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light.
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world’s despite.
Exiled for ever let me mourn
Where night’s black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more;
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore;
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved
Since pity is fled,
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown,
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light.
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world’s despite.

Ezra Pound
rabe489, 21:47h
Quotation:"Mary Ellis Gibson
Pound's final cantos do not relinquish the desire to make coherence in the very bone shop of history. Neither chaos nor the need for order can be projected into another world. The poet's situation—historical, personal, and poetic—is altogether more stark. In Canto 116, Pound says that the young are still burdened with the records of history, with a tangle of laws, with a literature that heals nothing. The poem's effort, like Mussolini's effort as Pound saw it, is still "To make Cosmos— / To achieve the possible."
The poignancy of The Cantos, for readers who find poignancy in a poem so violent, is in their never giving up on their desire to make the world better, a desire Pound understood as the effort to "make Cosmos." Yet the very terms of the dream, the dream of benevolent and natural hierarchy in a modern industrial world, contained its own undoing. The poet was left, in the words of the last fragments, with a question: "Where is what I loved?" This question surely answers the poem's earlier one, "And as to why they go wrong, / thinking of rightness" (116.811).
Where is what I loved? In great measure it is violently destroyed in the contradictions of its own dreaming; if anything is left, it is in the valediction to Olga Rudge now placed at the end of the Faber edition of The Cantos. But as to "why they go wrong," the fragments answer:
That I lost my center
fighting the world.
The dreams clash
and are shattered—
and that I tried to make a paradiso
terrestre.
Ironically, the clashing dreams, the oscillations and contradictions of The Cantos come back, in Canto 116, to late-nineteenth-century irony, the ironies The Cantos have gone so far to escape. Pound returned, in part and in fragments, to the mental landscape of Jules Laforgue, to the "deeps in him," and to the terrible ironies of a paradiso terrestre that could only be "a nice quiet paradise / over the shambles."

How do You feel?
rabe489, 21:35h
Like/ wie
ein leerer Eimer
eine Cremetorte
You are
ein Puddingteilchen
like
a dadaistic joke
ein Ruderer auf dem Ozean
ein Badender im blauen Meer
ein Ertrinkender in der Kloake
so bist Du
rettungslos
Du
have to fight
like
for example

Fields Of The Nephilim: For Her Light
rabe489, 20:48h
FOR HER LIGHT
how lonely you are
waiting at the sunday park
i'll elude you i will loose you
existing were no soul apart
you stand - you stand on a platform
your effigy dissolves in my hands
when i feel like someone to lie on
and i feel like someone to rely on
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
illusions born of the air
something seems so precious there
i'll elude you i will loose you
as rehersal of my despair
when i feel like someone to lie on
and i feel like someone to die on
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up
you can't wake up

Kristin Hersh: Winter (jan. 2007)
rabe489, 20:26h
Winter
How do you talk again
I forgot
Like sand in naked flame
Oh yeah!
Like winter coming
Not a fighter
You have to fight
The harsh blows dealt you in your short life
So lonely
Hold me
'Til sunrise
Snow geography
I'm catching on
Winter wears high heels
Oh yeah!
And the light is dazzling
Not a liar
You have to lie 'cause shadows haunt you
In your headlights
So lonely
Hold me
'Til sunrise
And breaking save me
'Til sunrise

A new Vaughan Williams
rabe489, 04:53h
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: Fantasia on Christmas Carols / Hodie
Vaughan Williams’s Christmas Cantata Hodie (This Day) is a brilliant mosaic of musical styles set to poetry from the most diverse sources. Texts by Milton, Hardy, and George Herbert reflecting various Christmas experiences are bound together by a narration of the Gospel Nativity story sung in unison by a boys’ choir. With its gripping blend of mysticism, heavenly glory and human hope, Hodie flows with a vitality and inventiveness that belie a work written in Vaughan Williams’s old age. The Fantasia on Christmas Carols, which incorporates a number of traditional English carols, is notable for the obbligato cello part and for the varied treatment of the choir, which provide an atmospheric choral-orchestral texture.

Erste Begegnung mit einem Engel
rabe489, 19:44h
An angel is
Crossing this way
Was ist wirklich?
Nichts und ein paar
Farbstriche in Gelb
Das Werk aber
Perfekt so, dass
Vollkommenheit weinte
Diesen Hof entdeckt
Und die Tür
Zu den Augen
Die das Geheimnis
Bewahren die Zartheit
Die seltsam genug
Hände formte
Für's Märchenreich
Selbst die Seele
Gestaltet und das Haar
Sprach vom Gleichgewicht
Einer Welt die
Einst verloren
Sah den Engel
Diesen Weg kreuzend
Und unsicher auftrug
"Wachse Vergänglicher!"
Nebenher schreitend kraftvoll
streicht er das
Nichtgewußte in Decken = Cotton
Rot und Grün
Wurde da Welt
Rot und Grün
Gefärbtes Herz liebevoll
Die Schönheit hielt
Einzug in den Tag
Und künftig ward
Keine Frage
Kein Zweifel mehr
Die Liebe lebt!
