| The Arrival and the Reunion: I would guess this might have something to do with the descent and ascent of Jesus, not sure though. Saltarello: an Italian dance, like Tarantella. Mephisto: short for Mephistopholes. The Song of the Sibyl: a prophetess, in Greece they dwelt at the oracles. In the song I would guess, the female voice somewhat "plays the part" of the sibyl. The original song is Catalan, a lingual region hovering around NE Spain and Andorra. It was banned by the Spanish Inquisition as were many Catalan religious expressions. Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book: from the 16th century Spanish poem Letrillas by Luis de Gongora, a priest. As the Bell Rings the Maypole Spins: May Day has its roots in ancient spring fertility rituals (Egyptian, Roman) and the Maypole arose in medieval England as the chief focus of May Day, around which they danced with streamers. I guess this sort of pertains to the title. The End of Words Black Sun Wilderness: in Scripture, the wilderness represents a harsh, untame and unGodly realm, but it is also a place of spiritual rebirth. The Promised Womb: I am thinking a reference to Mary, Jesus' mother. There seems to be all sorts of biblical ramifications through this name. The Garden of Zephirus: from Greece, Zephyros was the west wind personified. Radharc: Irish for "view," not sure if there is anything else. |
