    A question: how was mercia's "Heart of Darkness" two 'D"s?
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Go back to the original question, Calibs:

            Three Ds from this:

            Glam in the heart of mid-day gloom

            Two are musical, two are novels
            Heart of Darkness was both a novel and an opera.

                        What F came from La Rochelle, hopped to Cow Island and inspired a song without words from the man who made Atlantis?

                            Nice picture Flay. You almost sound as if you are halfway there. As for Atlantis, it could have started here -

                                Even with two picture clues I am lost at sea! Flay obviously has an idea (although I gain no clues from his picture I trust his superior knowledge in all things!) I was looking at Plato of course but got nowhere, the only F I came up with was Francis Bacon's 1627 essay The New Atlantis or an explorer called Fawcett who it is said discovered it but then he also disappeared! So far nothing musical rings a bell and there are several Cow Islands ....... Knowing Lat's interests I wonder if it's something to do with World Music?
