Retreat (of body)

from Meander by Salman Bakht

/

about

Recorded in Rochester, NY—October 18, 2017. Contains excerpts of "Street Haunting: A London Adventure" written by Virginia Woolf in 1927 and read by Vivian Schaeffer in 1960.

lyrics

. . . and soon it becomes apparent that this person is ourselves. For if we could stand there where we stood six months ago, should we not be again as we were then—calm, aloof, content? Let us try then. But the river is rougher and greyer than we remembered . . . The sights we see and the sounds we hear now have none of the quality of the past; nor have we any share in the serenity of the person who, six months ago, stood precisely were we stand now. His is the happiness of death; ours the insecurity of life. He has no future; the future is even now invading our peace.
