TT: In the pipeline

November 9, 2005 by Terry Teachout

The first installment of my ex post facto travel diary is well under way, but I got back from a Broadway preview too late to finish writing it, and Deadline No. 2 is already beckoning. Discretion being the better part of valor, I’m going to go to bed instead of staying up too late blogging.


More as it happens….

TT: Almanac

November 9, 2005 by Terry Teachout

Let me love you,

Let me say that I do,

If you’ll lend me your ear,

I’ll make it clear

The way that I do.

Let me whisper it,

Let me sigh it,

Let me sing it, my dear,

Or I will cry it.

Let me love you,

Let me show that I do,

Let me do a million impossible things

So you’ll know that I do.

I’ll buy you the dawn

If you’ll let me love you today,

And if that’s not enough,

I’ll buy you the first of May,

And tomorrow I’ll send you

Merrily on your way.


Bart Howard, “Let Me Love You” (music by Howard)

(Translation: I arose early to write my drama column for Friday’s Wall Street Journal and took a quick peek at our world map before settling down to work.)
