Startling a starving husband is not disagreeable
description Description
"Startling a starving husband is not disagreeable. The reason that nothing is hidden is that there is no suggestion of silence. No song is sad. A lesson is of consequence. Blind and weak and organised and worried and betrothed and resumed and also asked to a fast and always asked to consider and never startled and not at all bloated, this which is no rarer than frequently is not so astonishing when hair brushing is added. There is quiet, there certainly is." Excerpts from the poem Tender Buttons, part 3, "Rooms" by Gertrude Stein (in public domain on Project Gutenberg). Reading by Ariane Stolfi. To be performed at the Web Audio Conference in Berlin (19-21 September 2018).
