john cage - experiences no.2 (lyrics by e.e. cummings, vocals by robert ...

i cannot share this experience nor these words
as anything linked to me in a direct way NOW-
but i found this "fascinating"





it is at moments after i have dreamed
of the rare entertainment of your eyes,
when (being fool to fancy) i have deemed

with your peculiar mouth my heart made wise;
at moments when the glassy darkness holds

the genuine apparition of your smile
(it was through tears always)and silence moulds
such strangeness as was mine a little while;

moments when my once more illustrious arms
are filled with fascination, when my breast
wears the intolerant brightness of your charms:

one pierced moment whiter than the rest

-turning from the tremendous lie of sleep
i watch the roses of the day grow deep.

waves of life, a dream...





a quote out of the you tube comments:


It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one;
better to perform one than to listen to one;
better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment or acquisition of 'culture'.
(John Cage, "Silence: lectures and writings")
