Carmen 101
Two alternating texts, one from the Roman poet Catullus written for his brother who died at a young age. The text expresses an immense sorrow but is at the same time very tender. The other text is “ And death shall have no dominion” by Dylan Thomas.
This composition is dedicated to my brother Jipi who killed himself in 2001.
