A fascinating picture which has left me wondering... Could it be Mr. Wagner that inspired your words, or perhaps something more British, like Vaughan Williams, or maybe something American - Aaron Copeland?

I can hear the music, I can see the landscape - a stunning piece Margery, eloquently composed. I'll be back to read this again. jz x
Just love the way you describe things. Especially how you use music and myth together. You have a great creative wording. Nice.
Margery, this blending of landscape, music and myth is very powerful. I can see the scene before my mind's eye and feel the presence of the ancient gods. Warm regards, Magda
Wow Margery... Loved this epic poetry, i could see it all in my mind.. Beautiful write Margery, sounds like your missing home...10
Now you tell me! It's inspired by the great Finish master himself. Yes. It doesn't surprise. You have captured the Nordic clarity and sparseness well and the particularly 'hollowness' of harmony that i always hear in his music. Good to read you again Margery. You have a great feel for imagery. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
