1750 (inspired by j.s. bach)

�the romance of logic�s purist...
...and his delicate servants�
�who danced upon in time while other machines would rather utter woe�
�which blunt their own echo somewhat as to remain not so overtly attended to�
�but he by out-of-place precision quantum-metronome...
...and optimistic mathematic�
�has dazzled�
�to test time�
�and even the grandest master�s envy�
�do so to aching�
�and long to achieve such skill of constructing emotion by the patterns�
�of mere rising or falling tone�
�dance on, romance, still�
�the pawn of death on darker horses stole your abstract-song.s king�
�as the dust of us shall also rise�

J. S. Bach should be somewhat proud that he has inspired poetry as dark and resonant as this. Very gothic stuff. The third and fourth lines are two of the most beautiful I've ever read on this site. Aesthetic and insightful, a rare combination. Complimenting you has become a little redundant seeing as I do it all the time, but, nevertheless, this is a fantastic verse.

well I never get sick of the comments and compliment.. and no they're not redundant.. you always seem to give a new view on each piece.. they're always different.. and you give compliments sometimes as good as the poems themselves.. thoughtful and generous and aesthetic in their own right.. thanks buddy.. yeah those 2 lines are pretty interesting.. maybe if there's spirits out there floating around bach has already it and maybe it even made him smile..
