I even downloaded the music the other day and love the variety and sound of the period instruments being played.<br /><br />It occurs to me after a few days of thought, that the book, or maybe even all of life, is much like a work of music, a symphony or maybe an opera. In each of the 8 acts new themes arise, but with a familiar refrain. Occasional discords expand horizons, provide fodder for new directions and generally lend interest. An overture introduces us to what is to follow and the whole thing ends triumphantly - or should I just say satisfyingly - in a grand finale. <br /><br />Throughout, there is a sense of characters being played, of haromonies rising and falling, of intersections and juxtapositions in a dance through life.Jean Heyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895278684129111547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562105087769528944.post-59821122755385551982011-06-01T16:06:29.405-04:002011-06-01T16:06:29.405-04:00On hold at the library!On hold at the library!Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685112459444530126noreply@blogger.com
