HAVE fair fallen, O fair have fallen dead, so dear
To me, so arch-especial a spirit as heaves in Henri Pousseur
b. 23/06/1929 d. 06/03/2009
- for those who read German, his *Dichterliebesreigentraum*(1992-3) is an
astounding post-Joycean poetic-psychoanalytical word-maze
rivalled only by its heart-brrr-aching setting, an elaborate re-weaving of
Schumannian melody
and if I could, I would choose to hear now *At Moonlight, Dowland's Shadow
passes along Gingaku-Ji* (for shakuhachi, shamisen and koto, 1989)
