The unseen violinist plays late at night;
Long drawn out tones that tremble with emotion;
A haunting Czardas set in harmonic minor;
Flattened Sixths that speak of other worlds;
Of longing and beauty and despair.
The tempo quickens, the mood switches.
The violinist’s bow dances across the strings,
Like a wagon speeding across a country path,
The sounds of the wheels echoing as the night sky watches.
The violinist plays with ease.
A lively dance.
"the night sky watches"
Just the right image to accompany the "jangling" of the strings:D
From Wallace Stevens's The Man With The Blue Guitar
"To bang from it a savage blue,
Jangling the metal of the strings"
Thanks!
