    I was thinking "Dawn" (the restraining order can't stop me there!) - until I googled "The Dawn of Love" and got Barbara Cartland, and "Dawn of Beauty" and got adice on my make-up!

          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                Oh come along! Just another little effort, you can heave yourself up on to the rock...

                    oh very well

                    I think we is talking about Durufle's Quatre motets sur des thèmes grégoriens, well three of them anyway

                    Ubi caritas et amor (Love)
                    Tota pulchra es (Beauty)
                    Tu es Petrus (the Rock)

                      Spot on mercia! Nice one, once you'd stopped molesting that poor shepherd on his rock
