I don’t know whether I like it, but it is what I meant.     – Ralph Vaughn Williams

I was introduced to Ralph Vaughn Williams as I was walking through a meadow in Wales one day drear, when I felt his music seeping from the ground like springwater and entering my body.   When I listened to RVW’s Greensleeves Fantasy later, I made the connection.  So here is portrayed Mother Nature’s Son, straight from England’s lush Arcadian tradition.  He is the Green Man.  I am the Green Man.   Goo goo ga joob!
