(no subject)
Not having posted Saturday, nothing to say, I've been playing catch up, and there were a lot of embedded videos. Cue minor exploration of YouTube, among other sites. For your delectation I shall include this one - you have fifteen minutes to spare, Dear Reader?
The poem to which Ted refers as starting him off on the whole Four in the Morning thing is this:-
FOUR IN THE MORNING
Wislawa Szymborska
The hour from night to day.
The hour from side to side.
The hour for those past thirty.
The hour swept clean to the crowing of cocks.
The hour when earth betrays us.
The hour when wind blows from extinguished stars.
The hour of and-what-if-nothing-remains-after-us.
The hollow hour.
Blank, empty.
The very pit of all other hours.
No one feels good at four in the morning.
If ants feel good at four in the morning
--three cheers for the ants. And let five o'clock come
if we're to go on living.
Translated by Magus J. Krynski and Robert A. Maguire
And Finally - what you could get if you combined a saxophonist, a pianist, their instruments, and a unicycle.
Sorry about the (lack of) music, I guess they had to include the unicycle to get an audience!
Th-th-that's all folks!
