Musical Interlude: Listened to some Kurt Weill today, and remembered this track from his wife, Lotte Lenya, a song I find immensely lovely and comforting all at once.

"Speak Low," performed by Lotte Lenya.

Musical Interlude: Ever feel indecisive? Can't settle on something? Kurt Weill understood, and wrote a great justification for it. Here it is, by the great diva herself.

"The Saga of Jenny," performed by Lotte Lenya.

3 things about José Quintero’s THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE [1961]

1. “When the time comes when nobody desires me for myself, I’d rather not be desired at all.”
2. She counters with $750 but Mrs. Stone holds firm at $500.
3. Folding the set of keys into her handkerchief.

This ought to be better known. No matter how you interpret the ending, it's incredible.
