  in response to the following stanza;
I forever Will—"mock mockers first."
————————

Come let us mock at the great
That had such burdens on the mind
And toiled so hard and late
To leave some monument behind,
Nor thought of the levelling wind.

Come let us mock at the wise;
With all those calendars whereon
They fixed old aching eyes,
They never saw how seasons run,
And now but gape at the sun.

Come let us mock at the good
That fancied goodness might be gay,
And sick of solitude
Might proclaim a holiday:
Wind shrieked - and where are they?

Mock mockers after that
That would not lift a hand maybe
To help good, wise or great
To bar that foul storm out, for we
Traffic in mockery.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
—Nineteen Hundred And Nineteen: V.

"How utterly quaint!"—the utterance I've aptly uttered to sort of rejoin this forum. And it is "sort of" because I'll post when I like. Not when you'd like. Please mark well the fact that I've not replied for 9 weeks. Yes, I've kept my awareness of this thread by checking regularly in the beginning (it's my thread after all) until recently. For ... more

"What I always tell people is the following: whatever product you listen to, regardless of cost, if your emotion is moved by your favourite music when you put it on, then this product or system has a value to you. But if that does not happen - even if the product is very expensive - then it has no value to you." Ken ... more

I was to be silent for 7 days, respecting Ken's Marantz Model 7 origins, before refocusing on presenting this personal tribute. Yet on the eve of 7, I will address Bearman's reply; complement my previous post and thank Mr Best by critiquing the hapless inept critic. Words of course have meaning and history. The word "forum" deserves ... more
