‘We make beautiful things’
he said to himself,
thinking about it means
to be a musical maker.
‘The point is not to think
but to arrest thinking’
as he fiddled with a sound on a string.
‘Beauty is ever-open
to reconfiguration’
an idea accompanying
his plucked note.
‘Beauty thrives on analogies’
a thought while listening
to the pattern connecting the connections:
description is beauty,
shape and form are beauty,
sensation is beauty,
music’s sounds and time are beauty.
