I opened the doors of my heart. and behold, there was music within and a song, and echoes did feed on the sweetness, repeating it long. i opened the doors of my heart. and behold, there was music that played itself out in aeolian notes: then was heard, as a far-away bell at long intervals tolled.

I Opened The Doors Of My Heart.

Jean Ingelow
I opened the doors of my heart. and behold, there was music within and a song, and echoes did feed on the sweetness, repeating it long. i opened the doors of my heart. and behold, there was music that played itself out in aeolian notes: then was heard, as a far-away bell at long intervals tolled.

More From Jean Ingelow

They heard somewhere in that tenantless night a bell that tolled and ceased where no bell was and they rode out on the round dais of the earth which alone was dark and no light to it and which carried their figures and bore them up into the swarming stars so that they rode not under but among them and they rode at once jaunty and circumspect, like thieves newly loosed in that dark electric, like young thieves in a glowing orchard, loosely jacketed against the cold and ten thousand worlds for the choosing.

I'm just tired of everything…even of the echoes. there is nothing in my life but echoes…echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys. they're beautiful and mocking.

A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, a song's not a song 'til you sing it, love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love 'til you give it away!
Love Song Heart
Even if you have the wit to look by yourself in a bush away from the other children, there are not many bell crickets in the world. probably you will find a girl like a grasshopper whom you think is a bell cricket.and finally, to your clouded, wounded heart, even a true bell cricket will seem like a grasshopper. should that day come, when it seems to you that the world is only full of grasshoppers, i will think it a pity that you have no way to remember tonight's play of light, when your name was written in green by your beautiful lantern on a girl's breast.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated....as therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all....no man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because i am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. if you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. and although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. so that's the formula. it's very simple as a way of generating something. it's my inner minimalist.

Television screens saturated with commercials promote the utopian and childish idea that all problems have fast, simple, and technological solutions. you must banish from your mind the naive but commonplace notion that commercials are about products. they are about products in the same sense that the story of jonah is about the anatomy of whales.

This priesthood became a closed group, able to control enormous wealth and incomes, and concerned very largely with the study of the solar and astronomical periodicities on which there influence was originally based. with the surplus thus created, the priesthood was able to command human labor in huge amounts and to direct this labor from the simple tillage of the peasant peoples to the diversified and specialized activities that constitute civilized living.
