  3. Very nice indeed. Thanks. Also a poem by Edgar Allan Poe from 1827:

    'Twas noontide of summer,
    And mid-time of night;
    And stars, in their orbits,
    Shone pale, thro' the light
    Of the brighter, cold moon,
    'Mid planets her slaves,
    Herself in the Heavens,
    Her beam on the waves.
    I gazed awhile
    On her cold smile;
    Too cold—too cold for me—
    There pass'd, as a shroud,
    A fleecy cloud,
    And I turned away to thee,
    Proud Evening Star,
    In thy glory afar,
    And dearer thy beam shall be;
    For joy to my heart
    Is the proud part
    Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
    And more I admire
    Thy distant fire,
    Than that colder, lowly light.

  4. Thanks for the Poe, Musaklee! Lots of nice homely Old English monosyllables in this one: pale, beam, gaze, cold, smile, shroud, cloud, fire.

    Good times.

  5. Fripp is still a massive influence on loads of people from Tool and Porcupine Tree to all the "live loopers" From Katy Tunstall to Andrew Bird to Matt Stevens(www.mattstevensguitar.com - very Fripp goes flamenco)
