Count MoriVond “A Satire on Charles II” written by the 2nd Earl of Rochester, John Wilmot. A theatrical lambasting of the reign of King Charles, the 2nd. An iconic figure, the Stuart… so much so that I’ve decided to dress as the merry monarch in this buffoonery-laden spoof. Mad Earl. Merry Monarch. The Merry Gang…. Nobility debauched. Nobilis comoediis. Homines comedy. Parts 1 & 2.

“En Sourdine,” or “Muted” as per this translation by C.F. MacIntyre from University of California Press, 1961. Written by French Decadent poet Paul Verlaine, first published in 1869. Music snippet from “Trip To Paris” by Jan A. P. Kaczmarek from the Fine Line Feature’s movie soundtrack for the 1995 film Total Eclipse, based on the life of Paul Verlaine and fellow French poet Arthur Rimbaud. —Count MoriVond
