Hi, the easy answer is 'the mail and the female alone' as the meaning of the first, but that doesn't say much. Point is where the title comes from. I read an explanation a long time ago that it came from a well-known book in Elizabethan times which had something to do with a lover trying to get into a bedroom of a girl. Don't know the details anymore. It was different from Poulton's explanation which is doubted (she thought it had to do with a reference to a philosopers text if I remember well). Sorry not any details, but perhaps somebody knows more about it. taco > > On 18 Jul 2007, at 22:47, Jim Abraham wrote: > > The longer one is "Solus cum sola", Poulton #10. > > > > On 7/18/07, Alain Veylit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> This may have been answered already: which piece exactly is Nigel > >> playing? > >> Alain > >> > >> Ed Durbrow wrote: > >>> Thanks for posting this.
