Andrew Lang B. 3.31.1844 Selkirk, Scotland / D. 7.20.1912 Banchory, Scotland Angina Pectoris Re-reading some old work last night I had to stop when I came to the part about Paula (the Brown pages) but then the perfect moment to plunge rolled around for Sade started singing Is It a Crime on the live album CD I�d slipped into as something familiar� too familiar!� and I read on so brutal! Sade Adu is no benevolent fairy, you could say I can prove it (and did, in this section). But consider the White pages, what a transcendent opening�it whirls weightless in time� a pi�ata of pain, who am I kidding? and then the Blue pages, heavy honey-soaked history sliced and served with inflections of horror. The Gray pages needed some work. I�d never been happy with that episode but of course it always did epitomize room for improvement�the last page is better now, in any event. Sade Adu you preside over February�s full moon�as you pursue your long tormented search for pitch the mountains of the moon are shaking gravel from their bonnie banks in sympathy. Tap tap tap�the gravel falls beneath my fingertips. Tap tap�memory. Consolation Site: Take the high road
