prosperos speech

loreena mckennitt’in the mask and mirror albümünde yer alan ve william sheakspeare’in sözlerinden yola çıkarak bestelediği olağanüstü mistik , muhteşem , harikulade eser.

and now my charms are all o’erthrown
and what strength ı have’s mine own
which is most faint: now t’is true
ı must here be released by you

but release me from my bands
with the help of your good hands
gentle breath of yours my sails
must fill, or else my project fails,

which was to please. now ı want
spirits to enforce, art to enchant
and my ending is despair,
unless ı be relieved by prayer

which pierces so that it assaults
mercy itself and frees all faults
as you from your crimes would pardon’d be
let your indulgence set me free.

loreena’nın ağzından ;

nisan 1993 - stratford... bir kere daha, insan yapisinin iç dünyasinin tanimi için, yine sekspir’e yöneldim. maske ile ilgili parçayi yapmadik; onun yerine prospero’nun son konusmasini seçtik, ki bu aktörün, sanatci olarak maskesini çikartip, yapilan konusmaydi...hayal bitti, onun yerine, gerçek ve tanri anlaminin, bizler tarafindan bulunup, çikarilmasi kaldi....
