.......................................
celebrates My Violin for my Collection, and, my embroidered, Barcelona Shawl, a gift to me from my son, Fred, and his Nina, when they visited me here from their home in Spain. Isn't it beautiful ! Still dancing...to the memories, now, sigh.
The song/poem,by Cohen,is his symbolism honouring a couple who perished in WWll
In the C'ion Camps...ovens,omg..they were forcibly separated, knowing not why...
Cohen knew........
He kept them together...this way..........
Leonard Cohen: Dance Me To The End of Love, copyright
"Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic ’til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love."
I'm still dancing, in deep love of memories, never over.
