Like a fabulous mechanical yurt-on-a-cart pulled by a hundred thousand gold-tipped elephants pullulating across the Carpathians it’s….. Like a glittering, audacious, crackling speckled black crow of many colours, it’s…… Reminiscent of many and many a wonderful and splendid thynge, melting ice gleaming in the
sun, golden
straws of
autumn stooks, thatch, pitchforks hitched to a bullock-cart, the Heart’s-blast of the Ages, the swooning, swooping, ululating, wobbling, tocking, galloping, clattering, syncopated, shuffling, ecstatic, Golden, dusky and cool sounds; the sounds of the people of Romania… Muzica Polulara Romaneasca
