>MacDoom - I've been racking my brains over your rhyming conundrum for many days now and, at the crack of Dawn this morning, I think I may have hit upon the word you're looking for.
It's on page ** of D.H.Lawrence's classic novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'.
Lawrence could be brusque as well as wistful - but I prefer his poetry to his prose.

Good on you!
A cunning stunt (careful - no spoonerisms now)!

It seem odd that many of my posts RE: Wistful Music are from a Fach [Verismo] which can sound like a cannon.
Renata Tebaldi, "Son pochi fiori", Mascagni: L'amico Fritz (Live, Rio de Janeiro, 1951)

More wistful opera from me - SURPRISE

Enrico Caruso (1909) - Magiche Note / Magische Töne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfcCKXUkbIc

We need more Wists as this thread as been Wistless for 2 days.

Francesco Albanese "Rondine al nido" OR "Swallow in its NEST." In Neapolitan songs IMO this tenor is wonderful.

Sorry John, I've been listening to rather a lot of DSCH over the past week and it's full up with dole than wist.
Perhaps a week of Delius in the garden will help.....?

Hello friend

Does your garden have any "Rondine al nido?". I saw the photo of the coastline in your Amazon Profile.
It is is stunning. I love the sea.
On that aquatic note and for thread duty I offer for the thread this UPBEAT WISTFUL song.

Enrico Caruso - Vieni sul mar

CHEERS-JOHN

John- that's the Jurassic/Cretaceous coast west of Durdle Door, Dorset- with son in distance on his 21st. One of my fave places despite much travelling beyond UK shores.

Surely Caruso is cheating?

Well it is lusty Wistfulness;-)

Perhaps American readers may not know that the tune of Vieni sul mar was turned into a music-hall number and was very popular on the halls [Vaudeville] in England at the time. The words went like this:
Two lovely black eyes,
Oh, what a surprise.
Simply for telling a man he was wrong,
Two lovely black eyes!

JJD: I would be able to see Durdle Door from my window - if it wasn't for the buildings in between.

Did not know about Vieni sul Mar going Music hall.

Regards and thanks-John

Dan, American readers are clueless as usual, but it's kind of you to assume we can read. why does your music-hall version of "Vieni sur mar" remind me of the Viennese dialect song Patzak sangaround 1930, when he still had a voice:

"Zwei rote Lippen
und ein' schoene Tarregona.
Das ist die Schoenste,
In Barcelona."

But I must find out what the Durdle Door is before it drives me mad. Early visitors to Switzerland couldn't enjoy the scenery because of all the mountains in the way.

Piso, you'll get plenty of images off the search engine. It's part of a remarkable piece of coastline where three geologically identifiable types of rock from the jurassic and cretaceous eras all lie side by side within a couple of hundred meters (not vertically like the Grand Canyon, but horizontally).
Much of David Lean's Far From the Madding Crowd was filmed around there, quite appropriately, being a few miles from where the original book was written. Terence Stamp (as Sergeant Troy) sets off to do his failed suicidal swim from that beach. 'Tis a wonderful spot - especially outside of the tourist season! Richard Rodney Bennett wrote some very evocative music

that can be seen on YouTube as a sort of eight minute 'Suite' with a substantial precis of the movie. It is wistful in the extreme.
Twenty miles north is a famous cobbled street (also in the movie) which forever conjoined brown bread and the New World Largo to a generation of hapless TV-ad viewers.

Ahh, Geoffrey you must have followed George III to his summer retreat!

JJD: Now you have got me confused as to what constitutes Durdle Door. I may have been taking a piece of misinformation for granted for years. Typical when you live in an area rather than just visit it.

I am getting my limestone formations mixed up; I need some wistful music to sort out my brain. I would need remarkable eyesight to see Durdle Door from central Bournemouth.

I assumed you were at the Wyke Regis side of Weymouth - which would have to be the only urbanised place where Durdle Door can be seen by line of sight. And even that would require a day without the mists that generally afflict that coastline. It must be Old Harry Rocks or Needles that you *would* be able to see if so many people hadn't retired to the sunniest spot in the British Isles !!
On Hearing the First Cuckoo and Brigg Fair on my menu this morning to dissolve the mists with wists.

JJD: It is the Old Harry Rocks; one of them has an archway, nowhere near as spectacular as Durdle Door, that may be the source of confusion.

All beautiful places.
Ex Spurs Manager lives down there.
Old Harry Rocks indeed.

First Cuckoo in Spring was a good choice for the morning.
Will leave the wists and head for the mellow fruitfulness of Brahms (VC) now!
