from Matinées
You and I, caro, seldom
Risk the real thing any more.
It's all too silly or too solemn.
Enough to know the score
From records or transcriptions
For our four hands. Old beauties, some
In advanced stages of decomposition,
Float up through the sustaining
Pedal's black and fluid medium.
Days like today
Even recur (wind whistling themes
From Lulu, and sun shining
On the rough Sound) when it seems
Kinder to remember than to play.
– James Merrill (1969)
