“List, good Moon, where I learnt my loving.”
- Theocritus, Idyll II: The Spell
Quote:"Before you, you weren't. And after you, you won't be. Just a... sound, sometimes said. And... what is a musician?"
Anything in this world can last,
only for as long as it's takenI'm not in want, take what I will,
and I ask for the rest because still,
Anything in this world given,
gives from eternities forsaken
Nothing's left listening until,
unmoved unless unheard clipped to quill
Nothing's left empty world's inflexions,
I can't hear any affectations.
I can only see the reflections,
mirrors forgotten in contemplation.
The observer and the observed each stalking the other,
an eye for an eye, their pupils for your teeth,
elopes with lamentations gouged from a cold lover,
fares-well for fare-wells, your pupils for their teeth
"Music is when sounds are working together or separately, that we can remember them!
A musician is just one who knows the names of the songs that're being played!"
"When a musician plays a song... do they choose the notes to play, or is it the song that chooses?"
