No and no. And no to Sainte-Beuve too. All of whom I'd heard of! This one is obscure but Wikipedia has heard of him.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Please can we
Stop a moment
Reverse
and can someone explain to my simple mind the elements and their respective associations in the
Quirky poser that AuntDaisy set.
I don't get the Janacek connection, for one thing (or is Glagolitic the Quire/Manuscript, rather than Choir simply because it's a choral work?).

On the radio, how does part of a mediaeval manuscript, "Q", link to Janáček's mass.ive double protagonists & a.mass collect?
double protagonists = two choirs
I incuded "massive" because they were big.
The full stop in massive was my rough indicator that there were two ways of reading it. (Ditto amass = collect = acquire; and the collect as part of a mass).
That gives us A Quire, A Choir & Acquire.

I might add it's a hard nut to crack.
Or, were they named differently on the Saints' menu?
Could Róbert Mandel (an alternative nut) be involved, a twiddling his accurséd hurdy-gurdy?Last edited by AuntDaisy; 08-12-23, 23:40.
