Professional violinist Tiffany Moore was asked by her middle school bully to play her wedding for free. Their interaction proved that Moore is a confident and accomplished professional, but sometimes a bully is always a bully.
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm’ aus Litauen, echt deutsch.
And when we were children, staying at the arch-duke’s,
My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
