'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

This song, 'Refuse From a Silver Phial', is from Gene Clark's long forgotten 1974 album No Other.
This background to the album says that No Other was dismissed as being bloated and pretentious by critics. Clark had hoped to release the set as a double album but Asylum Records refused. It moves beyond the stripped down, passionate country-rock on the earlier "White Light" and Roadmaster albums.
This is the title song, 'No Other', which some see as overproduced.
Clark died in 1991, of complications related to his lifelong battle with alcoholism. No Other was reissued on CD with bonus tracks in the early 2000s.
