Today is also World Poetry Day and the International Day of Nowruz

We celebrate many UN Days today.

 

Every year on 21 March UNESCO celebrates the World Poetry Day. A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during the UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999.

 

Inscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a cultural tradition observed by numerous peoples, Nowruz is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature.

Hazel thanks for your note. (LOVE The Sartorialist!!). All black is often the default colour because it's the easier to unify (imagine an ensemble full of slightly different shades of red), it's easy on the eyes, and the audience tends to focus more on the music than if the ensemble were wearing different colours. The problem with saying go for it, wear any colour is what one person considers stylish another will consider completely inappropriate. There there's the issue of colour clashing. And in classical music, there are known stereotypes about what kind of dress is associated with certain types of music. Opera performers (and audiences) tend to go all out with style and flamboyance; Baroque performers (and audiences) tend not to consider fashion a big deal and are very low-key with their apparel. Ultimately, no, I don't think ensembles should be able to wear any colour; then it looks like a rehearsal. cheap auto insurance online auto insurance quotes

Hi Harv & Mary (Andrew Llew here) It could be that Sue's got the wrong title and/or the wrong poet - I pretty much looked through all Hunt's collections yesterday & it's not one of the well known "Dad" poems anyway. Feeling is that it appeared in the Listener & was maybe 6 or so lines long.But I have a suspicion that the funeral is past now so either they found it, or another suitable one.Let's hope I have no more need for funeral poems for a while. It gets tiresome. buy nexium on propecia
