Ways of Water - Five Songs for Soprano and PIano (2015) for Diana Cataldi, inspired by the watercolors of S. Karen Kappell, FSPA.
S. Karen's series of "water" watercolors began with contemplation of excerpts by literary giants Henry David Thoreau, Harry Middleton, Thomas Carlyle, and Leonardo Da Vinci.
III. Time (Thomas Carlyle)
Illimitable and silent,
Never resting, this thing called Time,
Rolling, rushing on,
Swift, silent like an all-embracing
Ocean tide,
On which we and all the universe
Swim like exhalations,
A miracle for which we have no word.
Illimitable and silent,
Rolling, rushing, swift, silent tide,
On which we swim like apparitions,
Never resting, this thing called Time!
A miracle for which we have no word.
