mewithoutYou - Aubergine

Time: 1:15

Aubergine

Labrador was locked through the promontory rock

She called down, said time is an illusion

mewithoutYou - Aubergine

Darius de Haas - What a Piece of Work Is Man

Time: 0:43

I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth

This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory

This most excellent canopy, the air, look you

Darius de Haas - What a Piece of Work Is Man

Julia Holter - Lucette Stranded On the Island [Live at RAK]

Time: 3:24

His shadow still wet as my gash against the rock

Sharp and high on the Balearic promontory

I see his ship go
