john jacob niles – look down that lonesome road

‘He is on a journey, during the night, the end of which keeps receding. He has a sense of the danger, of the loss that the pseudo-object attracting him represents for him, but he cannot help taking the risk at the very moment he sets himself apart. And the more he strays, the more he is saved.’
– Julia Kristeva, 1982

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing…”
From I know why the caged bird sings – Maya Angelou
