And the pearls of our eyes are turning black
My poem "Telegony" has been accepted by Cabinet des Fées.
It is strange and sad enough that a language, like a species, can be made extinct in less than two hundred years. (Sometimes a generation is all it takes.) This sentence struck me as strangest and saddest of all: "Though the language has been closely studied by researchers of linguistic history, Boa Sr spent the last few years of her life unable to converse with anyone in her mother tongue."

ron_drummond, I'm listening to this piece a lot.

I suppose that's really so. Holmboe spent several years in Romania in the early 1930s, studying Romanian and Gypsy folk song. There he met Romanian pianist and photographer Meta Graf; they married in 1934 and were still together when he died in 1996. Many of the CDs of his music on the BIS label are graced with Meta May Holmboe's photographs.
