A 🧵about #EmilyDickinson, my main crush ❤️, who was #BornOnThisDay 194 years ago.

She arguably was the greatest poet ever in the English language:

“Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.”

Point taken.

And for others wondering…Nicola and I feel free to criticize and learn from each other, it’s not a point of pride or such nonsense.

Best Trumpet on Night in Tunisia: Lee Morgan with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Best version of Night in Tunisia - this one with Dexter Gordon…

Birth of the Blue indeed a wonderful counterpoint to Kind of Blue

Fran-Dance

The Miles Davis Sextet

Miles wrote this for his soon to be wife Frances, based on the folk melody Put Your Little Foot Right Out.

Vinyl: Birth of the Blue.
Recorded by the sextet a year prior to Kind of Blue, these tracks complement that classic album.

Oh the Wodehouse most definitely, even if it’s not one featuring Jeeves…

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a dark masterpiece.

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.

When in disgrace with fortune & men’s eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself & curse my fate
…
Haply I think on thee & then my state
Like to the lark at break of day arising…sings hymns at heaven’s gate
