Interpretation is beyond it. Lacking sound, It will forgive wrong notes, not know an exercise From Bach, if there indeed is some distinction. Mute, It is the ideal medium for twelve-tone works, If not the Chopin repertoire. Without response, How judge of touch? Too firm? Too light? One must assume Seducers learn and necrophiliacs do not Else why do spinet’s key and quill go at it so? Is Czerny a perversion? And if harpsichords Seem musical cadavers, are the fringe who play “Authentic instruments” grave robbers? They, in proof Of scholarship as folly, preach that out-of-tune Is what is called for. Vocal exercises--scales-Employ an instrument whose authenticity No one can doubt. A vocalise may have no words, But is expression in a way dexterity, Viewed, cannot ever be, although Franz Liszt might say "My fingering could surely semaphore the deaf, Who at recitals should be charged full ticket price." To speak of heartstrings being plucked is retrograde, As to both time and mechanism. Live hearts hammer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Why should Mars Not have the Muses? No one ever called The Iliad a hymn to peace, or said Art has no wars. Miscast, Eros attends, Who most of all should have attendants, first Among them Mammon. Most of scholarship Not being in the least original, The owl whose tenure is beside the ear Of Wisdom any parrot could contest. And Ceres as a deity of grain Has ram’s horn as a cornucopia, A nod to mutton. Javelin, the flash Upraised in Zeus’s hand is not more apt In signifying than the triple threat Of Neptune, or than Hades’ two-prong fork. A trident gleams in firelight; bidents shine In water. Each could substitute for each (As Roman names can substitute for Greek). And does the Father serve the Holy Ghost, Or with the Holy Ghost attend the Son? Jehovah’s service from the earliest Has held out for the nothing less than all, Defaulting to the priestesses of Baal. Mohammed, prophet of, not son of God, Is outside these assessments. Buddha’s tree Was in Siddhartha’s servitude as shade. A lifeless canopy would serve as well. One god, of course, will never lack for shade. Has he a name? Yes, many, but is one: More uniform than any other god . And all of us, in our variety So inappropriate as hangers-on, End facing eastward, supine at his feet. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Visitors can view the dinosaurs only from across the water, The distance lending an air of timelessness to the concrete Forms. When I revisited Crystal Palace Park after an absence of thirty years, the dinosaurs still looked as lithe and lifelike as I remembered. In the slanting rays of the evening sun They really did look like visitors from out of Deep Time. --Henry Gee, In Search of Deep Time As usual, the High Victorians convince. It is a comment on the lack of vision since. Could we of some few bones and dreamed-up Latin names Create such archetypes no later knowledge shames? So bold, so plausible as to suggest we erred In finding Piltdown Man essentially absurd. The Exhibition Hall itself, the Palace, rose A second time, transported pane by pane to pose This question: was it deconstruction pre-Foucault Or sign prefabrication is the way to go? No critic of its roof or glazings said they leak; And when it burned to ashes Abdication Week It was as if the Prince Consort had set that fire Time-traveling from Osborne--perning in a gyre?-To spare the crystal shell what now might be its use: Casino gambling, Rock concerts, a solar mews. Prince, did the transatlantic cable mean for whales What pipelines mean for caribou? Did Old Wives’ Tales Of Luddites libel glass as industry and trade Whiting a sepulcher? Denounce as frail charade The endlessly repeated modules and their panes Whose weakness tempts to rioting and what it gains? Ned Lud will always surface to denounce advance; Houses of glass always succumb to stones and chance.
