from Matinées
When Jan Kiepura sang His Handsomeness
Of Mantua those high airs light as lust
Attuned one's bare throat to the dagger-thrust.
Living for them would have been death no less.
Or Lehmann's Marschallin! – heartbreak so shrewd,
So ostrich-plumed, one ached to disengage
Oneself from a last love, at center stage,
To the beloved's dazzled gratitude.
What have certain Saturday afternoons
Wrought upon a bright young person's morals
I now leave to the public to condemn.
The point thereafter was to arrange for one's
Own chills and fever, passions and betrayals,
Chiefly in order to make song of them.
– James Merrill (1969)
