#790 The Green Heart- Felisberto Hernandez
This is a very contemplative piece. A lonely pianist ponders his life while staring at a discolored newspaper that covers his kitchen table. Memories fall out as he lazily pokes at the edges of the paper.
“All of these memories lived in some part of me that was like a small lost town known only to itself, cut off from the rest of the world. For many years nobody had been born or dies there. The founders of the town had been my childhood memories. Then later, years later some foreigners had arrived…This afternoon I had a feeling I was in that town for a rest, as if misery had granted me a holiday.”
