Summary	"We continue our Art and Poetry series with ‘Dance Me To The End Of Love’, a deliriously romantic song by Leonard Cohen that is brilliantly visualized through the sensual paintings of Henri Matisse... Cohen’s (poem) is a lyrical tribute to the miracle of love, the grace it bestows on us and its healing, restorative power. Originally recorded on his Various Positions album, and featured in Cohen’s most recently published anthology, Stranger Music, this poetic song is gloriously married to twenty-one works of art by Henri Matisse, perhaps the greatest artist of the twentieth century. “I had this dance within me for a long time", Matisse once said in describing one of his murals. Here is a perfect book for art lovers, song lovers and all the other lovers as well." (From the introduction of the book)
