Welcome to my web page, wherein the patient and dedicated reader may find an assortment of more-or-less interesting text pieces - including
book reviews and recommendations,
original fiction (and general musing),
remarks upon Music [mainly Classical],
and the obligatory links to other areas of the Web. 

(See also Why 'Amaranth'?)

Stray visitors are encouraged to leave as soon as they start to get bored (if not before). The rest of you, I can only presume, are here for reasons of your own - and it is, therefore, entirely your Own Fault.

All that remains is for me to hereby disclaim any responsibility for any wasted time, boredom, or other inconvenience deriving from your visit.

The show will now proceed ...
