Poe gives inspiration, again.

The title is a really important part of the show, it's the first stage to attract the interest. It has to be approriate to the theme, the work and also has to be imaginative.

I came across this whilst perusing one of my Poe books tonight and I thought it could be perfect for a starting point for our title, it links with the idea of fragility and the concept of a 'fleeting' moment, even ephermeral feelings. We could use it in entirety or just quote it as part of our press release, what do you think?

In their vivid colouring of life -
As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife
Of semblance with reality which brings
To the delirious eye more lovely things
Of Paradise and Love (and loss) -
And All our own.
 
-Edgar Allan Poe

  1. I think including this in our press release would be great Rachael. Due to the powerful play on words, the piece would have to stand alone. Either on the opening page, front or back.
