M ON CLAIR DE LUNE ~ Is My Moonlight
O NE of my fave Piano Tunes ~ in
N INETEEN O FIVE by Debussy
C ERTAINLY it\'s one of his best
L OVED tunes ~ a haunting melody
A TUNE that spooks you for ever !
I WAS visiting a Stately
R ESIDENCE last year when ~ I HEARD IT
D ISTINCTLY ~ I followed the sound
E NTERED A locked Room ~ THERE SHE WAS !
L OOKING just as in my \"Painting\"
U NUSUAL Dress and hair style for
N OW ? I was mesmerised and so
E XCITED ! SHE vanished ~ BUT NOT THE TUNE !!!
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
The Mistress of the House ~ came into the Room ~ she was trembling
We keep this Room locked she sobbed \"Did you see Claire ?\" she was
my Grandmothers Sister and died at that piano 100 years ago in 1916.
She was only 16 and loved that tune (we could both still hear it) and
her Father was given a copy by Debussy himself. When i showd he my
sketch she almost fainted ! She showed me an old Daguerrotype photo
which was very similar to my sketch (even including the CAT) ~ SPOOKY
I apologised and said a Friend of mine will paint a Daguerrotype for you
and it can hang over the piano. That is the Painting I have reproduced
for you with this For you with this Poem. The Mistress of the House loved
it and forgave me for disturbing the DEAD in such a dramatic manner !
The moral of this tale is: If Pandora\'s Box or a Door is locked ~ Please
resist the temptation to unlock it ! Spooky Hugs for All ~ BRIAN XOX
