"Chorus of the Cigarette Girls" (Bizet's "Carmen") "The Words of Lovers Are Like Smoke"


'I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately'


Henry David Thoreau


"We are all victims, Anselmo.

Our destinies are decided

by a cosmic roll of the dice,

the winds of the stars,"

the vagrant breezes

of fortune that blow from

the windmills of the gods."

-H. L. Dietrich

Andrew Loyd Weber's 'Cats'

It is needless to advertise the poetic flair of this wildy successful musical. It is self-evident, since the lyrics were based on a celebrated collection of poems by T.S. Eliot, which Sir Andrew Loyd Weber browsed in a train station and thus got the inspiration for this work. It is very rarely that poetry of such magnitude maintains it's magic after being invested by music and 'Cats' is a fine example.
