A Short Note on Sinding’s “Rustle of Spring”


Alas, it’s fragile fires have dwindled,

   And even if you had the itch,

I doubt that warmth could be re-kindled

   In its kitschy little niche.


++++++++++++++++++

Spring Eternal


There never were indignant tussles

Surrounding Sinding’s springtime “Rustles”;

How different from the frenzied fight

Attendant on Stravinsky’s Rite!


Though less than twenty years apart,

What a difference in their art!
