My previous (rather ancient) website can be found at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~emenos/ The globalnet site contains part of a novel, poetry and ramblings. The supanet site is poetry only and consists of a series of poems about Hadrian and Antinous; a lot of translations from Cavafy; and miscellaneous poems. Both these sites are none too tidy since I do not have a tidy mind and like things to develop organically - at least that's my excuse. I've opened up a channel on MySpace for my later translations of the Cavafy canon (#110 onwards) which I will be adding to as I proceed. I have also added part of my translation of Stefan George's 'Algabal' and will be adding more as I proceed. - see http://www.myspace.com/brychar

Stricken Immortality Hands frozen on the face of a still clock Have defined the ending of time. All the dust and deep-sunken grime Inherited from the past (that vast rock Immovable hanging about our necks) Is washed away by one thick flood Of pulsing and of surging blood That passes by...

homily on harmless pleasure pleasures never really pleasures - or only for a moment, at the outset (such an enervating journey lies ahead). pieces of paper which, tearing, tear astray, ripping away half a written page of matchless manuscript. tedious faults too insignificant to bother with end...

Perfect opportunity to compare interpretations by outstanding countertenors Andreas Scholl and Paul Esswood (an earlier video upload) of David's air from Handel's oratorio "Saul", demonstrating that the Baroque singer was "co-composer", e.g., in the repeat section. "Oh Lord, whose mercies...
