Track list:

Volgon re lune...ahi lassa!; Perché non ho del vento; Torna, torna or caro oggetto; Deh! Ti arresta!; Vieni meco, ed un ritiro; E desso! E il perfido; E dessa: alfin la perfida; Tace ognun! nessun risponde?; Primiero io giungo; Si, son io; Giurato il sacrifizio; Giurasti un dì...rammentalo; Concedo un breve istante; Ma il tempo vola; Io fuggir; Senza pace, senza speme.

Harlan Ellison - on writing:

Writing is the hardest work in the world.
I have been a bricklayer and a truck driver,
and I tell you – as if you haven’t been told a million times already –
that writing is harder.
Lonelier.
And nobler and more enriching.
 – Harlan Ellison.
