Video Direction: Andrew Staples Sound Engineering: Sound Mirror I In a garden shady this holy lady With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, Like a black swan as death came on Poured forth her song in perfect calm: And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer, And notes tremendous from her great engine Thundered out on The Roman air. Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited, Moved to delight by The melody, White as an orchid she rode quite naked In an oyster shell on top Of The ...    less
