"With Rossini, the whole point is that lovers always get together, isolation is overcome, and like it or not that is the one centripetal movement of the World. Through the machineries of greed, pettiness; love occurs. All the shit is transmuted to gold. The walls are breached, the balconies are scaled - listen! The Italian girl is in Algiers, the magpie's stealing everything in sight! The World is rushing together.."
