Memento Mori, Memento Vivere: 16 Dances
Lo! 'tis a gala night within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight in veils and drowned in tears
sit in a theatre to see a play of hopes and fears,
while the orchestra breathes fitfully
The Music of the Spheres.
- Edgar Allan Poe
The setting here is a medieval style bash for all and sundry. Your host:
Death. The band - The Skeletal Orchestra.
Oh! and ALL must dance - even the rich and powerful.
Kings, Queens, Sultans, and Warlords... along with the rest of us.
"Sceptre and crown are worthless here
I've taken you by the hand
For you too, must dance"
Drink up dreamers! It's Halloween!
