Turn Loose The Swans
(专辑: Turn Loose The Swans - 1993)
So little of what we observe, is the
girl herself. Elaborate, scented coiffers. Adieu d'amour. Vast is the
heirs ballroom. Let the
rich give you presents. Heaven pours from her throat, as she sings and as she dances. The
fumes of rich swine, honeyglazed and dripping, playing in the
air. My mouth eager and wishing. But I
return to this nightingale. Her hair all fiery red. Deep it is and wild. my weakness will be fed. Boys whipped on the
alter of diana, sometimes until they died. The
cunning wily merchant, and his four crippled horses. Tales told in warlike manner. The
storyteller by the
fire .
While musing deeply on this sight, the
songster stirred my desire. You are sweet and fine to listen to. Long tresses about her neck. Yet much is false. This mighty evening, I've seen no face. This is crushing me. My quill it aches. Turn loose the
swans that drew my poets craft. I'll dwell in desolate cities. You burned my wings. I
leave this ode, splendid victorious through the
carnage. I
wanted to touch them all. I
wanted to touch them all.
