Welcome!

Welcome!
"Music for a while shall all your cares beguile, wond'ring how your pains were eas'd, and disdaining to be pleas'd, till Alecto free the Dead from their eternal band. till the Snakes drop from her Head, and the whip from out her hand"

-from "Oedipus" by John Dryden

Music for a while

Purcell's "Music for a while" sung by Evelyn Tubb

Franco-anglophile, 18th century fanatic, exclusive, tends to be reclusive, timid, Self-deprecating, serial escapist, democratic socialist, occasional Drama-Queen, obsessive, prude, sybaritic, easily terrified, inhibited, relatively easy to please, friendly. Very tight lips - can't smile properly.
