It feels odd to act out your normal life
When there's so much carnage
A few electrons away.

Sibelius to Gunnar
Forget gladness
Forgo regret
Wage the unwinnable war
And die a nameless death.
That's the true end of the hero's quest
Don't ache for the island of the blessed.
from Snöfrid Opus 29 by Jean Sibelius, 1900
heard on replay of BBC Prom of July 14, 2023
