Butler Yeats |
“Speech
after long silence; it is right,
All other lovers being estranged or
dead,
Unfriendly lamplight hid under its
shade,
The curtains drawn upon unfriendly
night,
That we descant and yet again
descant
Upon the supreme theme of Art and
Song:
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom; young
We loved each other and were
ignorant.” |

After silence, that
which comes nearest to expressing the
inexpressible is Music.
After silence what comes nearest to
expressing the unsaid is following the
language
of the heart in the most honest way… so I
chose to be a lyricist, after a long
silence.
What was there before the silence, one
may ask?
There was laughter and tears… courage and
untold fears, faith and betrayal,
devotion and acrimony…. So much that life
had to offer… and so much of silence
after that. Now is the time to share that
silence… through the greatest resource that
God ever offered Man… Music. So here I am,
After a Long Silence... |
