Narcissus
Stare into pools of blue
Hoping for reflection
Named as such - curse's clutch
Thirsty for affection
Narcissus went to the edge of the town
Finding only himself he instinctively drowned
In the water so deep he placed sorrows deep down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Stare into pools of blue
Hoping for reflection
Named as such - curse's clutch
Thirsty for affection
Catching the sight of a light on the hill
He forgot all his worries, the twilight had stilled
All around was a picture - perfection, he drew
On the strength in his heart, though the pain was acute
And he saw her there
But he saw her there
And he saw her there
Stare into pools of blue
Hoping for reflection
Named as such - curse's clutch
Thirsty for affection
Narcissus went to the edge of the town
Finding more than himself he instinctively drowned
In the waters made holy, an angel he found
With the key to the lock of his chains he was bound
And she turned the key
And she turned the key
And she set him free
And she turned the key
Stare into pools of blue
Hoping for reflection
Named as such - curse's clutch
Thirsty for affection
Stare into pools of blue
Hoping for reflection
Named as such - curse's clutch
Thirsty for affection
Peace

Shadowy Narcissus: Is Everyone Lonely?
A trip to my life with some people I love. Bryan Ferry (and Sting agrees) is said to have remarked: "We are always alone and we'll never understand."
This is an autobiography that is interspersed with images of persons, living and gone, that I admire and love. Were they, or are they, basically lonely individuals?
1. Abandoned factory in San Finx mines, Lousame, A Coruña, NW Spain
2. months old, held in the air by my mom Concha in the house where I was born in O Araño, Rianxo
3. Hans Christian Andersen in 1865
4. age 4
5. photographer Ruth M. Anderson, from Nebraska, on a field in Vimianzo, A Coruña, 1924
6. age 6
7. Ruth M. Anderson at the museum yard in Pontevedra, 1925
8. age 8
9. Kate Winslet in Premiere magazine, photo by Robert Krumann
10. age 11, with my grandmother MarÃa Pérez Agrelo - the person that is gone that I love the most. Her husband went to Argentina as an immigrant just before their second child - my mom - was born. She never saw him again and remained, as my favorite poet RosalÃa would say, "a widow of the living"
11. Henry James - wasn't he lonelier for being homosexual in his times?
12. age 13, in the States, school picture. I love this shot because in it I have the same expression as Kate Winslet on my favorite scene in Sense And Sensibility: playing Marianne she weeps in amazement when she suddenly discovers that Emma Thompson's Elinor also has a lonely, needy heart
13. Nazim Hikmet - I Come And Stand At Every Door - with wife Münewer
14.age 18, self-portrait in my room in Newark, and next is the
15.view I had from that room
16. Eusebio Lorenzo Baleirón, outstanding Galician poet from Dodro who suffered a tragic death, from cancer, at age 27. He looks a bit like ...
17. Bruce Springsteen, whose album The River contains two favorites of mine: "Point Blank" and the title track
18. face of Jesus, lonely on the cross, by Galician sculptor Gregorio Fernández, probably one of the best sculptors ever, though he isn't yet acknowledged as such
19. a bull strikes young matador JesulÃn de Ubrique. Unlike my lonesome idol Hemingway, I hate bullfighting, but I guess that the bullfighter must feel really lonely
20. Sting, around 1980, during a Police concert. He wrote the immortal "So Lonely"
21. age 36, on the beach in Palmeira
22. Anton Chekhov, the best short-story writer ever
23. age 42, March 8th, 2008. By a bizarre coincidence, a problem with the video transfer shows me at an old age (if I get there), like a sort of Dorian Grey.
* Is life a play? A beautiful tragicomedy?
* Thank you for watching. I realize that the video is very long.
Music: Fizzarum's "Microphorus" and Biosphere's "Poa alpina"
* This video (like the novel I am writing: The House Of Common Good) is dedicated to my beloved grandmother MarÃa Pérez Agrelo, "MamáMarÃa" (Araño, 1906- Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1982)
Length: 573
Rating: 4.20 (8 ratings)
