But not when you're trying to go to sleep. Agh, I have to think about something else.
Tony: I checked out a CD of Carmina from the library today... two of them in fact... the Orff version and another one.
Me: Orff version? I don't think he's contemporary enough to have conducted a recording, is he?
Tony: I mean, there's more than one Carmina Burana... there's one by Clemencic Consort.. same words, different music
Me: Ah. I've never heard Consort. Orff did Carmina Catulli, too, songs of Catullus... Catullus, Latin poet, dirty old man.
And so he explained all the verses of this one song...
...
Tony: 9. Er warf mir uf daz hemdelin, corpore detecta, er rante mir in daz purgelin cuspide erecta.
Me: Oh, wow. At least they're being metaphorical
Tony: 10. Er nam den chocher unde den bogen, bene venabatur! der selbe hete mich betrogen. "ludus compleatur!".
Tony: hee. there it all is
Me: Now, there's a worthy expletive...
Tony: he hunted well and truly.. hee
Me: Cuspide erecta!
Tony: haha!
Tony: translation- upstanding lance
Tony: oh wow! this is a duet between a guy and a girl with a small mens ensembleish chorus
Me: It's closer to point standing. It's not a lance, per se, but the end of one, or any pointy thing...oh?
spoiledrichboy05: hee.. the woman (or maybe countertenor) sounds so despairing wile the guy is all boisterous..
Tony: I actually need to go... I need to finish watching Cleopatra with Fayma... the old Elizabeth Taylor version... will you be on later?
Me: Possibly
Tony: kay... talk to ya later.. I'll pop in and out for about an hour and a half before it'll be done
Me: Have fun, then
Tony: I shall... I'll let you meditate on the poetry for now..
Me: All right then. It's poetry worthy of meditation...
Me: Oh, this is no hour-and-a-half with which you torture me, leaving my mind to dwell forever in the gutter beneath the lime tree without you...
Me: Soon enough I must retire seeking rest for my wholesome pursuits tomorrow, but my repose will ever be corrupted with your wrenching absence...
