intertribalDR. FELL
Dante's first sonnet from La Vita Nuova. He saw Beatrice Portinari across a chapel and he loved her at that instant and for the rest of his life. But then had a disturbing dream -
ALLEGRA (reading from text)
Joyous Love seemed to me, the while he held my heart in his hands, and in his arms, My lady lay asleep wrapped in a veil -
DR. FELL (continuing from memory)
He woke her then, and trembling and obedient, she ate that burning heart out of his hand. Weeping, I saw him then depart from me.
ALLEGRA
He saw her eat his heart!
I was just thinking about Stevie Nicks. Some girl on American Idol was named after her - I look at my mom, I'm like, "how come I'm not named after a musician?" and she says, "Like who?" and I say, "I don't know" and she says, "Well, that's probably why. You come from a family that does not worship famous musicians." "Who do you worship?" She thinks about it. "Nothing." Anyway, then "Silver Springs" comes on the internet radio. I'd forgotten about this song. I own it on an old CD (1998 Grammy Nominees) but I deleted it at some point, evidently after I had forgotten how awesome it is. Well, it's back in my music library now!
I don't know how to explain myself anymore. When she sings "time cast a spell on you..."
