Copland and Adams refer to Tippet? Half Nelsons all over the place!

Is the misspelling of Tippett (assuming you are trying to send us down a path after Sir Michael) a clue? As in:

The dews grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.

Those are lines by Emily Dickinson (from 'Death') and Copland ('Songs') and Adams (part of 'Harmonium') both set her.

So I'm saying Dickinson but not sure about the Half Nelsons...

...and there's a setting for choir by Elliott Carter.

Emily was so romantic:

The rose did caper on her cheek,
Her bodice rose and fell,
Her pretty speech, like drunken men,
Did stagger pitiful.

Her fingers fumbled at her work,
Her needle would not go;
What ailed so smart a little maid
It puzzled me to know,

Till opposite I spied a cheek
That bore another rose;
Just opposite, another speech
That like the drunkard goes;

A vest that, like the bodice, danced
To the immortal tune,
Till those two troubled little clocks
Ticked softly into one.

Norfs supplies the details in his two responses; so honourable mention to him, but E, lad, you get the next!

[Nick Armstrong]

E, lad, you get the next!

E is with Francis, Frederic and Jim, and was looked up to by Ivry and Ida.

Pray explain....

I'm not saying, because I don't want the risk of possibly winning an F.

Two pupils brought one mentor to mind.

[mercia]

oh, I'd like an F question from DP

You're right.

But why don't you want an F...? It doesn't have to be difficult!! It would be very welcome!

And have we had said mentor before? I can't recall it!!

[Don Petter]

Firstly, I've no idea about Fran, Fred or Jim. (The other two did ring a bell, which may or may not be the right one.)
Apart from that, I'm out all day tomorrow, so wouldn't be able to service you all in the manner to which you have become accustomed.

Were you never told when you were younger not to start things you didn't intend finishing?

I believe they're resident in the same cemetery, if that's any help

(I need a good service )
