Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight, Alone and palely loitering; The sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing. Ah, what can ail thee, wretched wight, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lilly on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever […]

As the day takes off the heated crown, So does the leaf change its skin As do all of its kin. As the clouds split open, The rivers again swell… Autumn rain water falling down. The day’s no longer bright, The tugging ball of flame is no longer gazing, Its lava sight no longer scarring… […]

I have always been a dreamer. I set goals for myself. I look at things and try to imagine what is possible and then hope to surpass those boundaries. Instead of going for a song, I decided to bring Michael Jackson on eLitere through his 1988 book, Moonwalk. Usually, I’m not exactly interested in autobiographies, […]

Its birth tore it apart in a blistering furnace. In the aftermath, meteors, cosmic rays and the light of distant stars have marked its surface. The Mighty Jupiter and Saturn could have easily made it one of their own, Could have easily wrapped it asunder and its magnificence we would have never known. Our world […]

I watch the seagulls floating on the orange background far from the sleepy Greek shore and the fiery rose Aphrodite threw into the glassy waves disappears fast… Why do I love this place? Why does it make me long for something new, something I have no idea about?… I hear Greek sentences all around me […]

Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the speaking silence of a dream; Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years. Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet, Whose wakening should have […]

A song you loved, forgot and rediscovered is always welcome in your life like an old friend. This is the case with a few songs from Nightwish, from that time when Tarja Turunen was the lead singer of this Finnish symphonic metal band. Nightwish has many beautiful and inspiring tracks, but for today I chose […]

I hold many fond memories when it comes to the music of X Japan. Some are connected to the songs themselves, others to the people I’ve met through them. I want to share with you my thoughts on some of these pretty jewels and I’ll start not with the one I’d say is my favourite, […]

The Frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind. The owlet’s cry Came loud—and hark, again! loud as before. The inmates of my cottage, all at rest, Have left me to that solitude, which suits Abstruser musings: save that at my side My cradled infant slumbers peacefully. ‘Tis calm indeed! so calm, that it […]
