deep into movement I (a lament) of my symphonic prose poem for the Celts.
My first thought was to base my text of mov I upon Táim sínte ar do thuama (from the cold sod that o'er you)
aka I am stretched on your grave, but
i am totally ambivalent bc sinnead (o# Connor), as fine as her a capella is voted for King's tralation of that song. But Yeats prefers Walsh's and if Yeats has decided to include in his anthology of Irish poetry, then I will of course go with it.
Compare this:
"I've the cold earth's damp odour," walsh
with this
"for I smell of the earth" king
or also compare this:
My fondest, my fairest, walsh
with
my appletree, my brightness king
Perplexed here. ;-)
So
I instead decided to go for dead can dance's "hymn for the fallen"
because of (quoting from the lyrics
"My attends to you as a mother fears while her children sleep
Now look, see how they're dreaming
...
Now sleep, close your eyes and have no fear
A wide blue sky is very near.

and also
the music is closer to a composition titled sailing to Byzantium (Yeats. Now you must know ( ,-) that Lisa gerrard is the singer of band known as Dead can dance!
cheers
