Our silly local newspaper printed the story of Terri's death as "Terri was cradled in the loving arms of her husband with flowers and music in the room. She was holding a stuffed animal in her arms." How sick! He wouldn't allow her music or flowers or sunlight or television or a teddy bear to hold or anything that would have made her life more enjoyable till it was too late for her to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. So terribly sad.
I see with my mind's eye a picture of lovely flowers resting in gracefully designed vases filled with water.
I heard that the music that was played as Terri lay dying was by Debussy. I began to wonder if the music was Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun." Did the newspaper indicate the name of the composition(s)?
Here's a definition of faun by Micha F. Lindemans:
Among the Romans, fauns were wild forest deities with little horns, the hooves of a goat, and a short tail. They accompanied the god Faunus. Fauns are analogous to the Greek satyrs.
