The sounds of music, poetry,
how they can entrance
and soothe the savage soul.
Enchanting is the sound of notes,
for music speaks without a word
and words of poetry play melody
without the sound of music;
so heavenly are these gifts-
these gifts that spring forth from
collective unconsciousness-
an endless stream of art.
And finding...pausing there
upon that inward road-
comes transformation of thought
to spirit sounds of notes and words
that calm the savage soul.

Inspired by Orpheus, musician, poet, and prophet in ancient
Greek religion and myth. The major stories about him are
centered on his ability to charm all living things and even
stones with his music. Wikipedia
