Loving that CD

Cortese loaned me "Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen", which I'd listened to a few times prior, but abso-FRIGGIN-lutely adore and am listening to right now on infinite repeat. I regret being unemployed and thus not able to justify purchasing my own copy right this second, because even though I've got it burned to minidisc right now, the thought of not having the lyrics (once I return the CD) drove me batty inside of oh, 3 seconds. (That's not a record by any means.)

So I'm copying the lyrics down and finding some already copied online. (Some time later...*phew*, got what I want.)

Regardless, it's beautiful music and I love it. And, I wonder, leaning back and listening as I am at this moment, about vidding possibilities.

DW100 new drabble: Chaucer's "The Physic's Tale", vignette

An excerpt from Chaucer's 'The Physic's Tale', and pretty directly related to my picking up a copy of Canterbury Tales Saturday.

Ah, the joy of amusing one's self.

Excerpt from The Physik's Tale (DW/Canterbury Tales)


Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,

[...]

And eek in what array that they were inne:
And at a physic than wol I first biginne.

A Physic ther was, and from a straunge shire
His eyen twinkled in his heed aright,
And he spak of freendes and TARDIS
And felawshipe with Aristotle and Aurelius.

Ther outsterte was also a Goddesse of maydens,
Hir brighte heer was kempt, untressed al;
She spak straunge but stronge of herte.

[...]

And the Physic and mayden abrayde up-on a hill
And left I gesse, thenne they I saugh namo.
