more mythical

The dark, brooding track sounds of a piece with “Dance Fever,” the group’s 2022 album that often found Welch threading her personal recollections and musings into a more mythical tapestry.

Although the head count is already what he describes as “three plants for one hole,” the quest for more “mythical plants” never seems to end.

It’s possible that, deep in the waters, more mythical beings wait for their stories to be told.

A more mythical “greenhouse” would become a central metaphor for Roethke later on, spawning now-revered “greenhouse poems” in several collections, such as his 1948 breakthrough, “The Lost Son and Other Poems.”

He wrote a “series of mood pictures” — in the tradition of evocative, storytelling tone poems cultivated by composers such as Berlioz, Delius and Vaughn Williams — inspired by the more mythical realm of Roman gods like Mars and Venus.
