WB- I specially liked the animal poems:
"Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

BC: re: his nom de plume: "To write is to be burned alive, but it is also to be reborn from one's ashes". His two poems show a minimalist's touch.

Good rest!
Sorry for the repeated posts from yesterday!
I remember paperleaves (one of my favorite poets on LitNet: http://www.online-literature.com/for...archid=3109334 ) used that picture of Sylvia shown on wikipedia as her avatar. SP: A tragic short life for a poet with so much talent. I can appreciate her struggles with depression. An observation about her poem (also note the sculpture "Os Candangos"): https://truthandrocketscience.com/20...rsos-of-steel/

SP-Tks!Great found, Tailor, for a better understanding of her poem! Brasilia is a social utopia wrought in stone. Now it is the heart of the countries rottenness. I was once there. The city has is magic though with is setorized "wings" and its futuristic (but now old) architecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Niemeyer (Note: I live close to Edifício Copan, today a badly kept building which is slowly been repaired.)
T-Just listening to the music!

The music was very nice... I had no problem with buffering until the last 5-minutes. ON: I remember studying Brazil c.1965/66 and being fascinated with the concept of the new capital Brasilia. What a long life; intriguing architecture... glad to know restorations are being made to his Edifício Copan. I had no idea Sao Paulo was so large http://www.worldatlas.com/citypops.htm ; I've always lived in the county or suburban areas so I cannot relate to LARGE city life. TA: A loss of artistic works due to the Dresden bombings, so sad. The Adagio in G minor is beautiful. I enjoy the Baroque period of music immensely. I also sampled one of his oboe works "Oboe Concerto in D minor": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgcOz2iZy1M

Time to rest :)
TA:I enjoyed the oboe concert.I don´t know what buffering is, but it is a sound defect there are other versions of the Adagio. My devices are basic, the sounds are usually ok but not excellent.
São Paulo is a smaller New York. You have a lot of facilities when you live in a large city, but also ´the problems of a large city. I guess living in the country is healthier and less expensive.
AL-Interesting feminist poem-The contrast between the men that go to the battle fields and the women that are limited to the space of the home with its home tasks. But I guess all that´s changing now as the battlefields don´t have boundaries any more.
