Behold what quiet settles on the world.
Night wraps the sky in tribute from the stars.
In hours like these, one rises to address
The ages, history, and Triopha catalinae.

the first version i heard is a really wonderful performance by the royal philharmonic, much more lushly arranged than others i heard, and taken at a distinctly slower tempo with a kind of majestic feeling
royal phil poppea amazonwonderful. stopped me in my tracks. i'll see if i can send you an mp3 if you like
anyway, i turned up something else on the you tube: this young irish woman singing the aria accompanying herself on the harmonium:

Phila's Nudibranch/Hope Blogging has become one of the main reasons I look forward to Fridays.
Nice, Tacitus. Thanks!
