It sounded good. It was a story that Victor Conte told me to use. I was contacted by Dr. Goldman, and that's how the story came about. And that was my first time ever meeting, or speaking, to Dr. Goldman.

Eyewitness

Adapted from Chretien de Troyes
'Le Conte du Graal le Roman de Percival

and the birds fell strangely silent before the Angels came
approached him through the forest
and he at a boyish game

then five Knights fully-armed came on at a walking pace
and the noise of wood on iron resounded in that place
how the branches of oak and hornbeam crashed against their shields
and lances striking armour as the horses twist and wheel

and he heard their hauberks jingling as still they weren't to be seen
then they came into the clearing and he saw it as a dream
their bright and shining helmets scarlet and purest white
and the gold and blue and silver and the sun was dazzling bright
and he cried 'God have mercy' and a sign of the Cross he made
and one of the Knights came forward, said 'Do not be afraid '.

The Saint Lawrence's Night

'In my thoughts the train of the wishes runs along the opposite way'
Paolo Conte

On August the tenth, you can see the shooting stars in the sky.
The poet Pascoli's father was killed and the poet should have become himself like a father.
This night you can express a wish.
Near the beach, you believe the reef is continuous, there isn't a break
Oh yes there is, for a little one part of it runs above, the other below,
In the middle of the parts there's a gap and the wave breaks.
Somebody's made a war over the week-end and August Bank Holiday is at the gates.
Holyday homeworks for the conscripts, and for people, but A Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Nine contingent has been discharged.
Looking at the sky I think about my expensive national insurance contributions;
One day Lesbia and, maybe, our son could take advantage of them.
This day in 1675, Charles II founded the Royal Observatory of Greenwich.

Jeune Fille, Ton Coeur Avec Nous

Jeune fille, ton coeur avec nous veut se taire.
Tu fuis, tu ne ris plus; rien ne saurait te plaire.
La soie à tes travaux offre en vain des couleurs;
L'aiguille sous tes doigts n'anime plus des fleurs.
Tu n'aimes qu'à rêver, muette, seule, errante,
Et la rose pâlit sur ta bouche expirante.
Ah! mon oeil est savant et depuis plus d'un jour;
Et ce n'est pas à moi qu'on peut cacher l'amour.
Les belles font aimer; elles aiment. Les belles
Nous charment tous. Heureux qui peut être aimé d'elles!
Sois tendre, même faible; on doit l'être un moment;
Fidèle, si tu peux. Mais conte-moi comment,
Quel jeune homme aux yeux bleus, empressé, sans audace,
Aux cheveux noirs, au front plein de charme et de grâce...
Tu rougis? On dirait que je t'ai dit son nom.
Je le connais pourtant. Autour de ta maison
C'est lui qui va, qui vient; et, laissant ton ouvrage,
Tu vas, sans te montrer, épier son passage.
Il fuit vite; et ton oeil, sur sa trace accouru,
Le suit encor longtemps quand il a disparu.

Un poema

Soñaba en ese entonces en forjar un poema,
De arte nervioso y nueva obra audaz y suprema,

Escogí entre un asunto grotesco y otro trágico
Llamé a todos los ritmos con un conjuro mágico

Y los ritmos indóciles vinieron acercándose,
Juntándose en las sombras, huyéndose y buscándose,

Ritmos sonoros, ritmos potentes, ritmos graves,
Unos cual choques de armas, otros cual cantos de aves.

De Oriente hasta Occidente, desde el Sur hasta el Norte
De metros y de formas se presentó la corte.

Tascando frenos áureos bajo las riendas frágiles
Cruzaron los tercetos, como corceles ágiles;

Abriéndose ancho paso por entre aquella grey
Vestido de oro y púrpura llegó el soneto rey,

Victor Hugo

Fuite En Sologne

Au poète Mérante


I

Ami, viens me rejoindre.
Les bois sont innocents.
Il est bon de voir poindre
L'aube des paysans.

Paris, morne et farouche,
Pousse des hurlements
Et se tord sous la douche
Des noirs événements.

Il revient, loi sinistre,
Etrange état normal !
A l'ennui par le cuistre
Et par le monstre au mal.

Salmacis and Hermaphroditus.

MY wanton lines doe treate of amorous loue,
Such as would bow the hearts of gods aboue:
Then Venus, thou great Citherean Queene,
That hourely tript on the Idalian greene,
Thou laughing Erycina, daygne to see
The verses wholly consecrate to thee;
Temper them so within thy Paphian shrine,
That euery Louers eye may melt a line;
Commaund the god of Loue that little King,
To giue each verse a sleight touch with his wing,
That as I write, one line may draw the tother,
And euery word skip nimbly o're another.
There was a louely boy the Nymphs had kept,
That on the Idane mountains oft had slept,
Begot and borne by powers that dwelt aboue,
By learned Mercury of the Queene of loue:
A face he had that shew'd his parents fame,
And from them both conioynd, he drew his name:
So wondrous fayre he was that (as they say)
Diana being hunting on a day,
