I just viewed a historical timeline of COPPELIA.
It suggests that Arthur Saint ~ Leon,
Usually credited as one
Of two major choreographers of the premiere version,
Got his ticket to ~
~ * The Casino of Royal Games
If Chance
& Fame, Famous Nomenclature, Taxonomy,
Roulette's Round Robin *~
When he married ballet superstar Cherubim
Cheribino, lovely cousin of Elf,
That Infamous Chinese Crested Virtuoso of Canine Divine.
Furthermore, Vassari, tells us Parade
Only briefly pacified Stravinsky, while Picasso
Dutifully went on to slaughter more pictures of Maidens
And Miraculous Miniature Minotaurs ~
While
Conversely
Our archival dance collection,
Housed en Le Houghton Libraire, while much remains
Still uncatalogued ...
Suggests that Saint Leon contributed much choreography
After he took over as ~
~ * Ballet Master,
First Assistant,
The Netherlands Etherlandish Outlandish Royal Dance Company
Of Amsterdam * Near Bye Bye * Harrlam ~ !
Programs and performance posters tell us
COPPELIA and
LITTLE PiggyBACKED HORSiE
Were allegedly choreographed Lyon, France
And Amsterdam, before Leonardo's eventual
Move to Haarlem.

"All ends in the joy of living.
All begins in agony.
Begin. Begin.
So that each moment
May be an end.
So that there may be moments spoken
Without irony.
So that you may be stabbed
By who you are, by where:
By the wonder of self-awareness,
By the awareness of others
And the experience of love."

"Skepticism without

Singing along with the lute player, longing
For acccompaniment,"O,
Nonsense!"
"Sure,VK," answers Ardvark. "Whatever.
Where's that

"Nowhere respectable, last

VK answers absentmindedly.

Meanwhile,
About a mile
Over, near market's square, closed down
For night, a dark-haired woman leans
Against a brick wall, her hat
Pulled low over her dark eyes,
Her concentration markedly making progress,
Her page
Held close to her nose, as
She reads...
"When the reviewer says
["Heart of Darkness"]
That this is a story about the discovery of self,
She is already a symbolic equation between
The physical journey
And its analogous psychological movement.
The psychoanalytic reading is in one sense
More literal than the critic's. The analyst emphasizes
The fact that in choosing this particular experience,
Conrad is going back to the first form
In which we experience anything
Resembling a confrontation with the self.
The exploration of the 'vast, fecund' continent,
Its fascination and abomination,
Was the exploration of the mother's body;
And at an earlier stage, this voyeuristic
Or incestuous voyage
Was also an exploration of the self,
Then barely distinguished from the mother's body."
Meredith Anne Skura,
>From "The Literary Use
Of the Psychoanalytic Process"

A nudge?
That nudibranch, Ardberg, peeks around
Peering under, over tables, heads,
Paws, paying rapt attention.
"Where's that newborn
Sea slug? What shape" Ardbeg asks, "indeed, what form,
Her newfound
Shell,
Her home?"
Her bud, that clam, Lilly, too, wonders
Where's Leonardo?
"O, He, that albino
Canonized
One, oft mistaken for a Royal Rodent
Who last barked after a lark ~ Hark!
Leonardo, where fore art
Thou?"
But O, know ~
What sheep fears, a forlorn lamb,
After getting sheared, shorn? A gym sock sweater
Wears He, one hole cut
For his head, two smaller ones
For his fore legs.
Meanwhile,
Kibbles cruises the kitchen, catching-as-catch-can,
When a white-haired gentleman, very pink
Cheeks, steps through the swinging
Doors, sweeping the floor, as
He sights her licking gravy off a chair's
Ball-foot claw.
"Parlez Ruff?"
Cotter inquires, eying Kibble kindly.
Kibbles looks up,
Eyes the kindly man, sniffs discretely, neatly
Wags her tail, buoyantly brushes air around
Her aura, stifles her impulsive desire
To impetuously let go
Of an aria ~ !

singing with three voices harmonizing to the melody. The lead usually
sings the melody, with the tenor harmonizing above the lead.
The bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes and the baritone provides
in-between notes, either above or below the lead to make chords
(specifically, dominant-type or "barbershop" sevenths) that give
barbershop its distinctive, "full" sound.
Probably the most distinctive facet of barbershop harmony is the
phenomenon known as expanded sound. It is created when the harmonics in
the individually sung tones reinforce each other to produce audible
overtones or undertones.
Barbershoppers call this "ringing a chord." Singing in a quartet or
chorus and creating that "fifth voice" is one of the most thrilling
musical sensations you'll ever experience, leading to goosebumps the
size of golf balls."
