This really is self explanatory although it does give away my desire to always hear the New Year’s Day Strauss concert from Vienna, the highlight of which is always the Blue Danube. Terribly bourgeois I am sure but a small indulgence in the scheme of things! It always seems to begin the year on a hopeful note.
It was written to mark 2010 but the basics still apply, surely?
New Year (2010)
tabula rasa
blank page
white canvas
dawn light
first kiss
birth cry
bread, wine, coal
food, drink, warmth
thick white silence
blue moon
blue Danube
fresh start
new year’s day
