Thank you for pulling all of these strings together for me into such a beautiful tapestry.
I first heard Lorraine Hunt Lieberson sing when I was a student at the New England Conservatory in Boston. I was almost immediately moved to tears then, as I am this morning listening to her interpretation of Bach's "Schlumert Ein".
There are some rare artists whose work plays on the strings of our humanity and she was one of them.
It is this humanity whose strings are played by peaceful protests in the world as well.
Thank you for pulling these seemingly disparate elements together for me.
This (especially the "Having an affair ... " passage) reminded me of Graham Greene's "The End of the Affair." It is very moving; one of my top five favorite novels. Do you know it? Surprisingly, the more recent of the two movie adaptations of Greene's novel is also excellent.

Beautifully done!!
Thank you, Mary! I agree completely. I feel like what she did has ripples that will last far longer than any protest could.

One of my favorite novels!
