[Opinions] Re: Justice, Sonnet, and Lark
Would Lark be a short form or nickname of Larspur?There is a wonderful snippet from Handel's "Semele" entitled "Ah me", preceding a famous aria entitled "The Morning Lark". I generally despise arias - but love the more musical forums which precede them - as in this case. O Jove! In pity teach me which to choose,
Incline me to comply, or help me to refuse!
Teach me which to choose,
Or help me to refuse!The morning lark to mine accords his note,
And tunes to my distress his warbling throat.
Each setting and each rising sun I mourn,
Wailing alike his absence and return.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv_aCzgHsCo
