"Every angel is terrifying"
I was compelled to stay up late last night reading aloud Rilke's Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus.
I woke up this morning, saw the date, and realized to whom I had been reading them. Without him, my life's path would have been very, very different.
Rest in peace, Jeff. Sometimes I think the world cowered under the weight of your heartbreaking beauty... and in the end, one of us had to turn away.

I can only listen to one Jeff Buckley song at a time. Listening to him is like being a washcloth that someone is wringing out--it's emotionally and physically other.

Agreed, Stu. Like Rilke's poems, Jeff's music can be emotionally exhausting. You just don't get that kind of experience from most artists.

Many ladybugs to you my beauty. Jeff's Grace is one of the most heart expanding songs I have ever heard.
