well...

[Andy:] ...just or...

[David:] ...nah. I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows moving in elliptical paths around a nucleus and all...we know...

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an atom works. Or...or looks even, for matter...

ok.

[David:] ...and so....and so why it was appropriate for the cover, you know...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate,
much like the depiction. But this is what we have you know?

And so the end starts with this...this piece "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now what is...what is the
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I think...
I don't think you should read too into any of this you know
It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens this calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin as the lark and it...
it with this series of ascending and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

wait uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year died?

[David:] ...well it went...and it like this it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the which overflows

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his aerial

In light, and the fancy sings."

huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think i've got the page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me says different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm but uhmm...

[Andy:] ...in the I have you're...

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the 7?

[David:] did you notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

wait. Hold on. What?

[David:] we're around in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and somewhere in between.
is where we live.
And sometimes some of us take and when they do,
their feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And when we rise, and we rise,
and we notice that the sky has been around us all along.
We been walking into it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise...
