...blinding whiteness of day-and freedom. Though the Nazi-like greatcoat worn by Pizarro (formidably portrayed by Baritone Walter Berry) was an irrelevant touch, the eyeglasses he took from a pocket-a desk man-were the perfect way to suggest Pizarro as not just a vague, timeless man of evil but the product of a villainous system...
...Beatles, but as long as there are writers who give themselves entirely to the relentless pursuit of their conceptions of truth, poetry has nothing to fear. Luckily, we still have such writers working among us. Elizabeth Bishop's work promises, by every standard I can think of, to be timeless. Caught as we are in frenzy, we need more of her considered wisdom and temperate common sense...
DEEP in the timeless Jordanian desert, the three silvery jetcraft glinted like metallic mirages in the afternoon sun, their finned tails emblazoned with the insignia of three famed airlines: TWA.

Set before the tomb of Darius the Great shortly after the Battle of Salamis, in which the Persians were crushingly defeated by the Athenians, the play is a spoken song of lamentations...
