The Leveret (Threnody) (major rev.2)

[serge gurkski]

Be careful,serge, that you do not bend to often to the will of others masquerading as your own. THRENODY it may well be,but not where I am from. We used to call a threnody a dirge in my youthful choirister days. If you bend too much and to often you will get metal fatigue and break. This was/is a good piece of work. Stop pissing about with it.

( I liked it then I like it now. Distill, do not dilute)

It's a thin line, the bending or not or how much, esp. for a non-native speaker. What I want to get rid of are involuntary linguistic mistakes. The rest, the idosyncrasies I want to keep. Threnody in the R. W. Emersonian sense, btw. I have this problem that German (poetry in particular) bores me to death (with one exception (not! me ;-) ). Sad but true. ,-) Even dialects have lost their sexiness. It's nice to listen to Bavarian when drunk, but thats it.

cheers
