LES AMANTS d'EDIMBOURG - the edinburgh lovers
Two children,one of them Isis, the other a boy (the future love of her life?) sit, looking at a painting.Isis recounts their reactions to the painting, the poetic images it evokes. At the heart of the song lies the difference between the two characters. Both see very different things in the painting. There is beauty and romance, but also inevitable distance and seperation.
