about

These four words describe everything that is eternally present and eternally dying and are taken from the Romanian poet Lucian Blaga (1895-1961). Blaga’s poems explore love, spirituality and nature with sensitivity and wonder, yet question their subject with mortality and isolation. I found some similarities between his way of describing wonder and disillusion with the way T.S. Eliot did in his Four Quartets.
This reduced version of Flowers, Eyes, Lips, Tombs represents the centrepiece of the song, being held by a little ornamented but simple frame: a portrait of a silhouette yet to be shaped and seen in a more complete and orchestral version next year.

lyrics

“So I too enrich the dark horizon
with vibrant tremors of sacred secrets,
and everything that is uncertain
changes to even greater uncertainties.”

-Lucian Blaga (Poemele Luminii, 1919)
