| Noted While Listening to Rite of Spring by Richard Cody |
| The Devil spoke to me late last night while I sat by lamplight scribbling poems. "Don't believe the hype," he whispered, his voice burning through stereo speakers, igniting the air where moments before Stravinsky's primal passion flared. Glancing up from work in progress I reached over and turned the volume down just a bit. |
