Two Examples of Attunement

Exercises for Ear
(The Ferry Press, 1968)
Stephen Jonas

A fine pitch, an idiom in key:

CLXII

   Lutes
        we ain't got
but ghee'tars
             aplenty

Sure to send you back to Ovid:

XIX
Echo, a beautiful nymph
   loved the woodland sports

         tho' favored of Diana,
she had one fault:
      
                  she talked
too much

     the rest
needs no repeating

Half the fun is in the layout upon the page — sends you grappling.

And so for day 2253
