ZEUS

This piece uses the melodic content from the Seiklos Epitaph, an ancient Greek melody, along with Edna St. Vincent’s poem, Prayer to Persephone:


Be to her, Persephone,
All the things I might not be: Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free,
She that had no need of me,
Is a little lonely child
Lost in Hell,—Persephone, Take her head upon your knee: Say to her, "My dear, my dear, It is not so dreadful here."

Prayer To Persephone

Following Orpheus
Euridice sighs,
Not knowing that
World will be moved
On her account....

The distance between Hero and Fool is slenderer
Than fiber optic filaments- if
Only she can teach her heart to wait

Endless repetitions revolve
Evolve
Devolve
Through history, through myth;
Especially through a memory of you

Hero and Fool:

The difference between them
Can dance on the head of a pin
Though multiplied
Though magnified
Ten thousand-thousand times

Electron, nucleus
Most delicate mote-
Intimate,
Infinte-
Exquisite note

O reckless angelic!
O holy insane! 
O wreck of perfection,
Did I hear your name?

Yet, in the end, 
It is he who cannot resist
Turning for that one
Killing glance....

Following Orpheus

Hades
God of the Underworld
 The Unseen One
 A grim and ghastly figure
 Crowned by the Helm of Darkness
Loved by none 
Yet cared for the soul of one

The House
by Gertrude Stein 

The house was just twinkling in the moon light, And inside it twinkling with delight,
Is my baby bright.
Twinkling with delight in the house twinkling with the moonlight,
Bless my baby bless my baby bright,
Bless my baby twinkling with delight,
In the house twinkling in the moon light,
Her hubby dear loves to cheer when he thinks
and he always thinks when he knows and he always knows that his blessed baby wifey is all here and he is all hers, and sticks to her like burrs , blessed baby
