[Angle]

[Angle]

and



something to do with Shotover Hill?

[Angle]

Broadmoor
Dartmoor
where one might be doing Solitary

[rubbernecker]

I think you're on your own, there, Angle, but fascinating to see the workings of your mind!

Quite so! But no, you're cold there Angle, I'm afraid.

[Angle]

rubbers - when it does

So where is Caliban, to approve?

[Angle]

with ALL THREE resolutions ???

[Nick Armstrong]

rubbers - when it does

So where is Caliban, to approve?

Checking in regularly, fear not...

Which three resolutions, Angle??

[Angle]

Three verging of four, that is :


Solitary - alone
Annoying insect - Solitary wasps
Broadmoor
Dartmoor
where one might be doing Solitary

And none had any musical connection, apart from The Wasps by RVW

I got rather carried away

No Angle, sorry - not Solitary.

back to the drawing-board, solo, after eats.

[Nick Armstrong]

alone = unaccompanied ?

No, it doesn't refer to unaccompanied music.

All elements have a musical relevance though connections with other arts too. The "S" word is purely a musical connection.

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm guessing in desperation

heath - blasted heath - Macbeth?

should I ignore "classical" music entirely?

Precisely the sort of association I had hoped would give a route in... Yes, mercia you have one of the four elements

No do not ignore 'classical' music. But ignore opera (in case you were wondering)

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm stumbling in a Straussian direction

annoying insect - fly - Metamorphosis - Metamorphosen

Oh I almost said, as well as opera, ignore Strauss...

But you are moving in the right direction, and indeed have stated part of another of the elements

[vinteuil]

I think I know this - it's a composer whom Caliban likes - but one I don't particularly care for.

I suspect the question is whether the insect is a Bedbug or a Gadfly...
