I made 30 pendants to be given away at an art show @ Brownie’s Vintage, that was held yesterday. I thought, if any of you all reading were recipients of my little Poem Drop Pendants (as I call them), I would give you some information on what your pendant says and where it comes from.

As of when I first put this up, a couple of the pendants’ quote sources hadn’t been fully identified; they’re in my notebook rather than my computer, and I haven’t had a chance to look them up. So here we go:

	“The lip of the glass gleams in the moonlight like a round razor — how can I lift it to my lips? however much I thirst — how can I lift it — Do you see?” –”Moonlight Sonata,” Yiannis Ritsos
	“She slept the world. You singing god, how did you so perfect her that she did not crave first to be awake? See, she arose and slept.” –”Sonnets to Orpheus,” Rainer Maria Rilke
	“I love you for your hands that calm and bless, The perfume of your sad and slow caress, The avid poison of your subtle kiss.” –”Sonnet Macabre,” Theodore Wratislaw
	“looking down on empty streets, all she can see are the dreams all made solid are the dreams all made real” –”Mercy Street,” Peter Gabriel
	“in our culture, where red is a warning, and men threaten each other with final violence: I will drink your blood. Your kiss is for them” –”Sleeping Beauty,” Olga Broumas
