He woke her then and trembling and obedient
She ate that burning heart out of his hand;
Weeping I saw him then depart from me.”

madonna involta in un drappo dormendo.
Poi la svegliava, e d'esto core ardendo
lei paventosa umilmente pascea:
appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.

“I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.
I think it's great, but it could be better.
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea,
yet if you were to change the melody,
take out a part that you think should be here,
put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear?
Well, it's only an idea.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

"I hate it, but that doesn't mean it's bad. In other words, I quite enjoyed it. Apart from which, it's the best you've ever done yet if you were to change the words it would be superb... with perhaps a different melody...?" "I Love It But..."

“I would have liked to have had kids, and had a family, but I think in my profession it's quite difficult to achieve because you're always working. I think I'm the kind of person as well, had I had kids, I wouldn't have gone on working. I would have jacked it all in. But it's a wonderful life I have, so I'm very fulfilled in other ways. Am I ever bothered by it? Well it's too late now”
