MUSIC By Dorian Lewis Music is the soul's entangled dreams unwound to light, Fusing with beauty the fathomless consciousness Of all mankind. Since Infinity was conceived and While Eternity endures, to all, it has been, and is The eternal tongue .............. A throaly organ breaks the velvet silence with a Turbulent song ...... a booming, wild-armed sea Rolls up to Hay the cringing sands. Then the honeyed plucking of a harp, and a fragile Willow tree stands swaying in the summer breezeg Or a lone violin sobs and the night wind Croons in a dreaming garden. Music . .... ......... Dedicated to Marjorie Oerter, Wh-ose life was enriched by an abiding' love of music.
