apparently we all need to start learning more languages. that's how we will save the world. with words. (on second languages: to speak one is to speak none. good thing i've got two going on ;-))
so i will start your journey with a line from one of my new favorite art songs. i'm not sure why i seem to gravitate to the darker ones (my last favorite: ich grolle nicht - i bear no grudge) mahler truly was a genius; i think i need to explore more of his stuff. so the translation of this title, which is the climax of an awesome song called "um mitternacht" (at midnight)
Lord! Lord over life and death, You are standing on guard... You are on guard at midnight
(the line is at 5:00). that's kathleen ferrier singing.
