‘Was die Weise mir gebar,
mehr als Morgentraum nur war:
vom Parnass zum Paradies
sie den Weg dem Leben wies.’
‘What unto me the music bore,
was more than just a Morning Dream:
from Parnassus heights to Paradise
it showed the way for life to go.’
(Van Dyck: St Anthony of Padua.
Michelangelo: Madonna. — )
Eva, sitting on the piano, listened very attentively and happily to the birth music, then to the Apprentice Boys’ Dance.
