MYRRH

A THOUSAND SOUNDS ASCEND

AMPLIFIED THIS JUMP-OFF

INTO THE UNKNOWN

YOUR LYRICS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE

AWAKENING IN A DREAM

THERE I’LL MEET YOU NEXT TIME

LOVE SALVAGES OUR INTENSION

SAME SUN WARMS US BACK

MIRACLES UPON MIRACLE

STILL NOT LEFT UNDONE

Ut pictura poesis; erit quae, si propius stes,
te capiat magis, et quaedam, si longius abstes;
haec amat obscurum, uolet haec sub luce uideri,
iudicis argutum quae non formidat acumen;
haec placuit semel, haec deciens repetita placebit.

Poems like pictures are; some charm when nigh,
Others at distance more delight your eye;
That loves the shade, this tempts a stronger light,
And challenges the critic's piercing sight:
That gives us pleasure for a single view;
And this, ten times repeated, still is new.

Horace, Ars poetica, 365
