“The scarcity of rhinos” on the television
SATB Chorus
Approx. 5 minutes
2004
Based on a poem from Ursula K. Le Guin’s book, Sixty Odd. Ursula K. Le Guin’s poem is not so much about Rhinoceroses, but is for me a tale of the risks of missing something important when you’re distracted by flashier things in life.
"O awkward and shortsighted and short-lived rhinoceros,
bearing the living horn, the one true one!
Where?"
