September Morn - (c) Neil Diamond and Gilbert Bécaud 1979. Stay for just a while / Stay, and let me look at you / It's been so long, I hardly knew you / Standing in the door / Stay with me a while / I only want to talk to you / We've travelled halfway round the world / To find ourselves again // September morn / We danced until the night became a brand new day / Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play / September mornings still can make me feel that way / Look at what you've done / Why, you've become a grown-up girl / I still can hear you crying / In the corner of your room / And look how far we've come / So far from where we used to be / But not so far that we've forgotten / How it was before // September morn / Do you remember how we danced that night away? / Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play / September mornings still can make me feel that way

Design - (c) Agnes Poitevin-Navarre 2007. Used - from 23 August 07. Agnes's notes: 'I thought of that iconic image of 'A bout de Souffle' ('Breathless') by Godard, and the calligraphic Herald Tribune logo on Jean Seberg's T shirt. Germanic look but American. I thought about Augustus - the Roman Emperor - and about the Last Days of Pompei, a book that always fascinated me because of the imminence of the tragedy given in the title. The symbols relate to the five days Augustus (the boy in the Struwwelpeter nursery story below) made negative choices. The 'X' means 'no thanks' to the soup five times, the '*' are sun symbols for each day, and the 'V' is the consequence, '+' equals death. On the other masthead, the dot represents the soup dish and the >>>>> the fast-forward to the exit of the stage, as well as the fact that he is getting smaller and smaller in weight. One day's news is tomorrow's history. Some events will become myths or stories, others will be disregarded, that is the editor's choice, or that of the artist in whichever discipline to make it a universal tale.'

The Story of Augustus Who Would Not Have Any Soup
Augustus was a chubby lad
Fat ruddy cheeks Augustus had
And everybody saw with joy
The plump and hearty, healthy boy
He ate and drank as he was told
And never let his soup get cold
But one day, one cold winter's day
He screamed out 'Take the soup away
O take the nasty soup away
I won't have any soup today'
Next day, now look, the picture shows
How lank and lean Augustus grows
Yet, though he feels so weak and ill
The naughty fellow cries out still
'Not any soup for me, I say
O take the nasty soup away
I won't have any soup today'
The third day comes. Oh what a sin
To make himself so pale and thin
Yet, when the soup is put on table
He screams, as loud as he is able
'Not any soup for me, I say
O take the nasty soup away
I won't have any soup today'
Look at him, now the fourth day's come
He scarcely weighs a sugar-plum
He's like a little bit of thread
And, on the fifth day, he was - dead.
from Struwwelpeter: Merry Tales and Funny Pictures by Heinrich Hoffman 1844
