song of the week: claude debussy, reverie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79UfWizjGiQ
a dream-kiss, that made me at once more solitary, and at once more whole. where is my tired, knowing look now? where is my canny discretion, my wistful smile, my quiescent detachment, my reverie, these able tools of my isolation? oh, c'est la vie, even of me. all the fine music and turgid prose and fantastic adventuring of late cannot easily dispel even such magic-thought. god have mercy, tender mercy.
