... a poem...

>
A quick poem found here: http://boppin.com/neruda.html

"Love

Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the
perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands;
how did your lips feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks,
the white statues that have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten
your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of
you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
do me irreparable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every
window.
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because
of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting
stars, falling objects.

Give to your local...

Opera. Ya that's right. Give to your local opera. Some who have never taken the time to appreciate opera, might think its stuffy and boring. I love punk, death metal, classic rock, classical, and opera. The thing I like about opera, is that they are all pretty much the same. Some one is always trying to get laid, someone is getting laid, someone is being cheated on, some one is heartbroken, and someone dies. In every opera, you will experience many many extreme emotions.

Any way, I thought I would link a few of my favorites. Great pieces of work. Hopefully you will enjoy them..

Ai Giochi Addio From Romeo and Juliet:


Habanera from Bizet's "Carmen"


La donna e mobile from Verdi's "Rigoletto". I have blogged about this one before.


Che Gelida Manina from Puccini's La Boheme


Sull'aria from Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro".

You may remember this from "The Shawshank Redemption": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYFj9hZsnhs&feature=related

From Karl Orff's cantata Carmina Burana "O Fortuna"


Mozart's last work, Requiem Mass in D Minor
