At Any Rate




Rostropovich : Bach~~Six Suites for Cello




As we are
a doomed race,
chained to
a sinking ship,
as the whole thing
is a bad joke,
let us,
at any rate,
do our part;
mitigate the suffering
of our fellow-prisoners;
decorate the dungeon
with flowers
and air-cushions;
be as decent
as we possibly can.
--Virginia Woolf
