Marriage consists of two sequences of poems. The first is loosely
based on the relationship between Pierre Bonnard and his muse and
model, who became eventually his wife. It is a rich pattern for the
study of the mysteries of domesticity, the unspoken privacies and
intimacies that can exist between two people. For the painter,
problems of seeing become, for the husband, problems of knowing.
'Marriage' is an inspired portrait of conjugality, exact, watchful
and understated. The second sequence, 'Lepus', extends an interest
in the hare as trickster, traceable elsewhere in David Harsent's
work, and most recently in 'The Woman and the Hare', a piece
commissioned by the Nashe Ensemble, set to music by Harrison
Birtwistle, and first performed at the South Bank Centre in 1999.
