Several Sides of Survival
You expect me to work for this?
You do realize I am American which entitles me to instant disposable gratification!?
On the other hand, I was born and bred in the south where life carries on with a leisurely, contemplative pace in the shade of a tree.

I can do this!
RE: Survival
Are you alluding to the survival of a people and their culture, whose homeland served as the door mat on the Silk Road, trodden over by a multitude of conquering nations?
Or possibly the survival of -
“The basic cultural milestones of Turkmenistan are related to the traditions of Turkic-speaking oguzs. The latter go back to the pre-Islamic period. The oguzs' traditions found their reflection in literature, music, folklore of the Turkmen.
The most known source of that period is the national oguz epos "Oguz-nameh" also belonging to the cultural legacy of the Turkmen, Azerbaijanis and Turks. It was passed orally from generation to generation and was written down in the mid-16th century. Another epic monument is the poem "Kitabi Dede Korkud" which reflected pre-Islamic tribal culture of the oguzs and the influence of Islam in the 11th - 12th centuries. Epic poems were performed by national singers-storytellers.”
The quote above was copied from the following source:

Excuse me for a moment Yanni.
“Fellas, would you please back away a little?”
“I’m having a hard enough time figgurin out what survival means, without you breathing and drooling down my neck in amazement!”
“Maybe you can explain Billy; what am I doing that captivates this lot?”
“They are both shocked and amazed Gilliatt. Shocked by the fact that Mozart is nowhere to be found and amazed by that glowing contraption there on the bar”
“My laptop?!” You mean to tell me the Dreary Beery has never laid eyes on a computer?”

Is survival found here:
I googled your suggested- “Edgar Poe+Gulistan+d'Anastasy+Yanni” and found the following:
“*After the fall of Venice to the french, a succesion of protectors ruled the island of Zante (jacobine french and russians-allies of the Ottomans then- imperial napoleonic french and finally english 1809). Zante joined Modern Greece in 1864.
Greece was liberated after four centuries of Ottoman occupation by the war for independence 1821-1827.”
Or perhaps surviving the period of Russian rule?
Tell me; what is survival? ----

Gilliatt
Your survival, my survival, our survival, winner nature takes all!
"Survival" is a game, Gilliat, requiring the most of one's physical and mental capabilities. It only has one rule: know thy enemies (there are many, most in disguise), forsee their next moves, be there first and maintain the illusion of victory in a world without "economy" (οικος-νομος=house rules) ie lifethreatening and in constant change.
Poe's "Gulistan" is key to "West vs East" energy market game which is transitioning from oil to natural gas within a bigger philosophy game of "big corporates" vs "state capitalism".
You may try adopting your music accordingly or not, your choice in a free market.

“Hey fellas, long time no hear! How’s the Dreary Beery been holding up?”
“It’s bin fair to midland around here Gilliatt. That Athenian friend of yours has dropped by a couple of times keeping us afloat. He convinced us to buy shares of Russian Gazprom stock. Good move since the stock prices soared. Now we’re livin high off the hog.”
“Rusty Springs, how you been? Looks like your working on a puzzle.”
“Yeah, it came from London, but there was no name on it, most likely sent by the Count.”
“Sweet mother of Cocchi, who or what is that coming down the street?!”
“Ahh, that’s the new kid in town. No one knows his real name. Terrier will swear on Coronado’s grave, that his name is Handel while Dusty Rhoades believes it is Botch. Otherwise, the rest of Dumas knows him as Quasimodo.
“He’s a sod buster hired by Billy Aristotle over at the Broke Bach farm.”
“Poor fella looks like he’s been breaking dirt for some time, look at that hunched posture.”
“Gossip tells Gilliatt, that he was hired as a favor owed by Billy’s Pa. kind of uh…“I’ll scratch your bach if you scratch mine” arrangement.”
“Boy, Billy’s Pa must have done a lot of scratching… just look at the size of that so called bach of his. Where was he born?”
“Padri Martini tells us he was delivered on the Brandenburg farm down near Amarillo just a stones throw away from Cadillac ranch.”

“They were rushing the mother off the ranch trying to get into Dodge City to see Doc Adams, but they didn’t quite make it. He was “delivered” just as they reached the Brandenburg’s gate. He jus sort uh dropped out by the gate post. He’s one tough cuss, let me tell ya!”
(Doc Adams is the one with the black hat)

“All that remains from his childhood is a baby rattle he carries in his pocket along with a copy “Of Mice and Men”. The rattle portion is modeled after an Easter Island head tied to a piece of rope from St. Germaine’s bell tower.”
“Quasimodo likes the soft texture of the rope. Padre says Thor Heyerdahl brought the Easter Island head back from his “Kon Tiki” expeditions.”

“Hmmm…interesting. Well Rusty, tell me about your puzzle.”
“This Gilliatt, is a puzzle featuring Johann Sebastian Bach. The final composition will reveal variations of Bach manufactured by combining brushes with watercolor or oil.”
“Here is the completed picture on the bachs cover”
“Terrier claims that this variation you see at the upper right superimposed over the map of Vienna, is actually George Frideric Handel. In fact he believes Bach and Handel are one in the same postulated on the belief that they underwent a face transplant. Kind of like that movie “Face Off”.

“I fear we are flirting dangerously close to manufactured events from our recent past.”
“No need to get the jitters just yet Gilliatt, the firmament appears to be stable for the moment. Bachs and Handels are being addressed by competent chiropractors and the “AbCirclePro” respectively.”
