So for someone like Maynard Solomon, it would make perfect sense to use Macbeth and the Song of Solomon to illustrate liner notes. <br />After the death of President Kennedy -- who was a master of this type of thing -- this approach to culture began to change. I have no idea why.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-90953043597024029462022-07-14T17:53:51.639-04:002022-07-14T17:53:51.639-04:00The voice of the turtle dove is a reference to Son...The voice of the turtle dove is a reference to Song of Solomon 2:10-12. Here it is in the King James Version: "My beloved spake, and said unto me, 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.'"GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-54191876522646962732022-07-14T17:52:00.096-04:002022-07-14T17:52:00.096-04:00The phrase "cabin'd, cribbed, confined&qu...The phrase "cabin'd, cribbed, confined" comes from Act III, Scene 4 of Macbeth, when Macbeth learns that one of his enemies is still alive. Here is part of his reaction to the news:<br /><br />Then comes my fit again.<br />I had else been perfect,<br />Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,<br />As broad and general as the casing air.<br />But now I am cabin'd, cribbed, confined, bound in<br />To saucy doubts and fears.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-3192233866798700912022-07-14T17:49:38.326-04:002022-07-14T17:49:38.326-04:00"M.S." is almost certainly Maynard Solom..."M.S." is almost certainly Maynard Solomon, who co-founded Vanguard Records with his brother Seymour in 1950, when Maynard was 20 years old.
