    Yes, should be great as you felt it wonderful. I wonder does the ballet omit too, like the film, the opening chapter about Armand visiting his deceased love, her body...
    There is no polite way
    of being happy

    the camellias
    heady with lustrous fragrance
    remind me of home…
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    remind me of home -
    speak of apple pies cooling,
    children playing tag

    chest poised in mid-flight,
    air stirring each fragile hair...
    for a moment, peace

    Actually, the ballet starts like a story in pantamine. The lover is coming to the sale of her worldly possessions; an auction in one stark room. He then dreams back (flash backs) to the past. It was a wonderful production with some of the best dancing I have ever seem - very sensual and passionate. The young male lover is so handsome it is worth watching the film just to see him. Apparently the film is hard to come by and sells on Amazon for over 200 dollars for a used tape...unreal! Now I want to read the book so badly. I understand the film "Moulin Rouge" also was based on the Dumas' book, I had not known that. Read it online.

    I better write a Haiku -

    For a moment, peace
    Dancers pause between notes;
    Air fragrantly spiced.
    "It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

    Air fragrantly spiced
    will drip wind like melting ice,
    sweet like mountain streams.
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.
    - John Berryman

    Sweet like mountain streams,
    Mist of lusty lilic breath,
    Vales of spring rain cloud.

    ktd22—
    still no atvar graces your post—
    are you real or ghost?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Are you real or ghost;
    Phantom or dust particles;
    Breathing vapors lost?

    breathing vapors lost
    shrouded by wizards' unknown
    words they heal, they kill.
    shh!!!

    words they heal they kill
    frangipani faeries in
    petals nesting sweet

    petals nesting sweet
    while the orchid master waits
    in black rage to strike





    *thought a faerie here would be a likely target for an orchid masterhttp://www.yoyita.com/Flowers/pansie-03.jpg

    and doesn't he look dangerous?
