Let me only keep faith with the history of this longing, of the road that led through three incarnationsc to the peony pavilion.
“Meaning is not in things but in between them.”

“One must develop a feel for the music, probably over time, and then give oneself over to it. This is neither completely a function of the music itself nor of the listener; it is an interaction of the two. The listener must at some point take on the appropriate attitude to be able to hear what is happening in the piece. Similarly, a nurse must give herself to the rhythm of the hospital, must “get into” what is happening; she must accept its normality and take up its rhythms and melodies as her own. So the leap into a routine, where to the layperson there is chaos, cannot be impelled by all of the training that has come before. Routinization of this world (or any other) remains a free lived act of the individual.”
