For the Twentieth Century

16
by Frank Bidart

    Bound, hungry to pluck again from the thousand

    technologies of ecstasy

    boundlessness, the world that at a drop of water

    rises without boundaries,

    I push the PLAY button:——

     . .Callas, Laurel & Hardy, Szigeti

    you are alive again,——

    the slow movement of K.218

    once again no longer

    bland, merely pretty, nearly

    banal, as it is

    in all but Szigeti's hands

    Therefore you and I and Mozart

    must thank the Twentieth Century, for

    it made you pattern, form

    whose infinite

    repeatability within matter

    defies matter——

    Malibran. Henry Irving. The young

    Joachim. They are lost, a mountain of

    newspaper clippings, become words

    not their own words. The art of the performer.
