Spenser’s Sonnets served as the inspiration to Shakespeare, just like Field’s Nocturnes did to the “Polish Nightingale”. Maybe “mimesis” truly is the source of genuine art. …which means I’m still looking for my “Greek Tragedy”.
This, of course, has nothing to do with my duet. This duet is nothing more than a pretty little song.
