Thanks, Martin; I'm pleased you enjoyed it :-)

Incidentally, I rewrote the final stanza to make 'Interrupted Serenade' (another Debussy prelude). Here it is from the later poem:

He approaches the tower, but suddenly, 'Oof!',
00he trips over a hedgehog and groans,
and the guard-dogs are on him in fury, 'Woof-woof!',
00as he lies in the herb bed and moans,
then the guards come and grab him, ignoring his sigh
00as they throw him back over the wall,
'I shall sing to my love of my love till I die,
00then my spirit... oh, bugger it all.'

You're welcome for the likes. I'd heard of quarter tones.

Some time I'll pop to Amazon to see
if I can find Celestial Euphony.

Best wishes,
Fliss
