On-eyre (spoiler alert)

I’ve something in my eye. Ah!... but it doesn’t hurt.

I’ve been listening intently for fifteen days. It’s become a listening compulsion. I’ve heard of misfortune, reversal of fortune, misfortune revisited, fortune gained and fortune shared, then mixed misfortune, leading to joyous restoration of fortune.

A tale of love, of loss, of hardship, of cruelty, of deception, of madness, of tragedy. Mozart’s delicious clarinet air opened each episode, signalling 15 minutes pleasure, delivered by a voice of velvet. Over fifteen days I’ve been happy, sad and deeply moved by the narrative. The tear in my eye has been my reward.
