2) Cyprus Avenue - The narrator is in love with a 14-year-old girl. The most beautiful girl he's ever seen. And its the sound of a man tortured by it, by his inability to speak to her, by his inability to approach her, by his inability to stop wanting her. And of course he should be tortured by wanting her, you don’t want him to approach her, you don’t want him to interact with her, she should in all respects be forbidden to him. More than a paedophilic lament however, it's somehow a very pure, albeit anxiety filled, sadness filled, symbol for the beauty that lifts us up and that we can never touch. Maybe an analogy for original sin, and the biblical punishment that resulted in wanting more than was prescribed for humans. And so, uncomfortably, we have a true lament for humankind, a compassionate, sad, but not undeserving torture.
