The Heart Asks Pleasure First

Um dos meus filmes preferidos e a música de Michael Nyman - The Heart Asks Pleasure First: The Promise/ The Sacrifice - para quem não sabe, inspirada no belíssimo poema de Emily Dickinson. (Será que "Pleasure", "promise" and "sacrifice" andam de mãos dadas?...)

The heart asks pleasure first,
And then, excuse from pain;
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering;

And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.
