Poetry and Music
This week, I’ve been enjoying Natalie Merchant’s CD,
LEAVE YOUR SLEEP. One of the song-poems that have been going through my head is “Equestrienne” by Rachel Field.
“See, they are clearing the sawdust course
For the girl in pink on the milk-white horse…”
Find the rest of the poem here.

That’s really lovely. What a great face and voice. That particular video is like something out of an old European movie. Henry James, maybe. Very nice, Dianne.
