Shostakovich! Elgar! Rachmaninoff! Cannot wait for the Elgar cello concerto, a favourite since I was 15. The Halle 25/26 season is looking very tasty.

Squirrels keep stealing all the bird food, crafty fuckers.

I think about this man from the 19th century a lot, from Whitman's "I sing the body electric". Who was he, to make Whitman feel this way? What did he know, what made him the man he was? Are there people like this still out there, even in this world?
Whitman's I sing the body electric, verse 3: I knew a man, a common farmer, the father of five sons, And in them the fathers of sons, and in them the fathers of sons. This man was of wonderful vigor, calmness, beauty of person, The shape of his head, the pale yellow and white of his hair and beard, the immeasurable meaning of his black eyes, the richness and breadth of his manners, These I used to go and visit him to see, he was wise also, He was six feet tall, he was over eighty years old, his sons were massive, clean, bearded, tan-faced, handsome, They and his daughters loved him, all who saw him loved him, They did not love him by allowance, they loved him with personal love, He drank water only, the blood show’d like scarlet through the clear-brown skin of his face, He was a frequent gunner and fisher, he sail’d his boat himself, he had a fine one presented to him by a ship-joiner, he had fowling-pieces presented to him by men that loved him, When he went with his five sons and many grand-sons to hunt or fish, you would pick him out as the most beautiful and vigorous of the gang, You would wish long and long to be with him, you would wish to sit by him in the boat that you and he might touch each other.
