Gabriel's Oboe(Ennio Morricone)-André Rieu
Is it any weakness, pray, to be wrought on by exquisite music?
to feel its wondrous harmonies searching the subtlest windings
of your soul, the delicate fibres of life where no memory can
penetrate, and binding together your whole being, past and present,
in one unspeakable vibration; melting you in one moment with all
the tenderness, all the love, that has been scattered through
the toilsome years, concentrating in one emotion of heroic
courage or resignation all the hard-learned lessons of
self-renouncing sympathy, blending your present joy
with past sorrow, and your present sorrow with all your past joy?
GEORGE ELIOT,Adam Bede
Music
John Vance Cheney
Take of the maiden's and the mother's sigh,
Of echoes from the morning bird on high,
Of childhood's dream, and hope that age doth bless,
Of roses and the south wind's tenderness,
Of fir-tree's shadow, tint of sunset sky,
Of moon on meadow where the stream runs by,
Of lover's kiss, his diffident caress,
Of blue eyes' yellow, brown eyes' darker, tress,
Of passion of all pulses of the Spring,
Of prayer from every death-bed of the Fall,
Of joy and woe that sleep and waking bring,
Of tremor of each blood-beat great and small;
Now, pour into the empty soul each thing,
And let His finger touch that moveth all.
Where Everything Is Music
Rumi
Don’t worry about saving these songs!
We have fallen into the place
The strumming and the flute notes
So the candle flickers and goes out.
This singing art is sea foam.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
They derive
Stop the words now.
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn’t matter.
where everything is music.
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world’s harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
from a slow and powerful root
that we can’t see.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirit fly in and out.
I WISH I COULD SPEAK LIKE MUSIC
HAFIZ
I wish I could speak like music.
I wish I could put the swaying splendor
So that you could hold Truth
I am trying the best I can
To cover you with light.
I wish I could speak like divine music.
I want to give you the sublime rhythms
As they joyously spin and surrender,
Hafiz wants you to hold me
And dance,
Of the fields into words
Against your body
And dance.
With this crude brush, the tongue,
Of this earth and the sky’s limbs
Surrender
Against God’s luminous breath.
Against your precious
Body
Dance.
