That reminds me of something by James Joyce: “Slowly, as their thoughts entwined, they became less remote. Was like a warm plant about an exotic.” Or something like that, from his collection of short stories “Dubliners”.
Just come back from a wake this evening, being Jewish is was uplifting and fun (we celebrate life not death), but nothing was said more beautiful than Leonard Cohen’s last words to Marianne. We saw Nic Broomfield’s film about 
LC&MI 
on Sunday and she was filmed as they were read to her. It was very touching.

"Einstein can’t be classed as witless
He claimed atoms were the littlest
When you did a bit of splitting 'em-ess
Frightened everybody shitless

I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’, to be movin’
Lowell T. George, “Willin’”

Not necessarily put to music as of yet…

A poor girl wants to marry
And a rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college
And a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine
And a politician wants a vote
I don’t want much of nothin’ at all
But I will take another toke

„I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned, I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon“
Waterboys / This is the sea
Track: The whole of the moon
Maybe the best bad sounding album…oh if there were just more good mastering engineers at the time.
