The Great Event

It's going to happen very soon. The great event that will end the horror. That will end the sorrow. Next Tuesday, when the sun does down, I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards. This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering for the last 200 million years. What a lovely night that will be. What a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, and the retired nightingales pick up their dusty tails, and assert the majesty of creation!

The Great Event by Leonard Cohen
