Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of and repeated intervals and this...
these then elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.

who died in 1909 and the composer a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] ...the year they

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

"He rises and to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many links a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine overflows

To us with him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and the fancy sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the

And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when their feet the ground, even for a second,
they the rest of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice the sky has been around us all along.
We have been into it. It has been this constant collision.
