Chamber Music: String in the earth and air - April 9th 2012
String in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
String by the river where
The willows meet.
There’s music along the river
For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
Dark leaves on his hair.
All softly playing,
With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
Upon an instrument.
— James Joyce, Chamber Music (1907)
