Akhenaten's Dream In Plato's Mind

It’s been a long way since Earth was created from cosmic dust plus initial energy from the Big Bang left unleashed especially for us by an un-metaphorically cause that still remains undisclosed, un-theological, & humanly grasped. Despite there’s no consensus about such a spectacular phenomenon; body, mind & intelligence remain as lively fate-hunters of what make sense about us that I have to welcome you, Friend, to the Drama of Human Condition in search of the Artist’s Signature.

One of my B's from the BBB

“You might speak of
‘the divine Rossini.’
You can also speak
of ‘the divine Mozart.’
But you cannot say
‘the divine Beethoven.’

That does not sound right.
You must say
‘the human Beethoven.’
It is in this way that he is great….
With Beethoven humanity enters
into music for the first time as the
principal argument in the place of
interplay of figures."

So mused Busoni in 1920... Go here or here

My Little Alexandria Library

Breaths So Far (An Index):

Hölderlin once said: "Language, most dangerous of possessions." Therefore, this is an attempt of writing a small book of poetry in a language that's not my own. However, I feel fortunate… Index (Suggested Order)

Next, you will find several extra poems which are related to the topics covered in the previous poems.
