Reverie I: Us, Too

"And the cornet blows.
Where the oleander grows.
And us, too.
Not the same people that our old friends knew."

Reverie II: Out of Season

"Winter is coming soon to this tiny little seaside tourist town. If you ever feel like it, please come visit me. Farewell."

-- Famous song

Reverie III: Cape Erimo
***

"We have begun to burn our sorrows in the fireplace. As time passes, as we fret over little things, we grow only ever older. As these years pass silently by, let us collect our sorrows as kindling, and warm ourselves beside the flame.

At Cape Erimo, the springtimes are nothing special."

-- Famous song
