actually, spelling this out would be appreciated, since the track is
actually titled "RETTIC AC" on the cover and all other listings. (caps are
ae's not mine )
quoted 2 lines , and "Cipater" and>, and "Cipater" and

while i can't vouch for the ezra pound reference, i do know that one thing
with "nonsense words" is the ability to have their definition derived both
from context and from root-words. musically, it's nearly impossible to use
context unless the song has vocals, but the root-word thing works
particularly well for recury, because the root is recur, and the song in
question definitely is the most repetitive song on the lp. ironically it's
one of the best, as well. :)
and it's teartear and windwind. the words are used due to their ability to
mean two different things. it's like naming a song a purposefully
ambiguous title, to mean multiple things depending on your "mood."
