Some months later
the fires of passion
recalled European music
observed in the night air
in no uncertain terms
Observing the sacrifice of God
As a living spectacle of antiquity
In the infinite blue night
Of a blind nightingale
I began to understand
the attraction that affected me
a chill, you have it or you don’t
the wellspring of exact definition
To be more specific
there are roots dug deep
in the very ancient culture
that no philosopher can explain
