Is that...is that a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I think...
I don't think you should too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin enters as the and it...
it starts with this series of and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the poet George Meredith
who in 1909 and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year they

[David:] ...well it went...and it went like this it uh...

"He and begins to round,

He drops the silver of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the which overflows

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I i've got the wrong page. Uhmm.
The script you me says something different. It says, "you are."

yeah but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark much of the and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] ...in the I have you're...

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on wing earth to fill the heavens...

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground at my feet.

hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the number 7?

[David:] did you notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. Hold on.

[David:] we're around in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when their feet leave the ground, for a second,
they pull the of us with them.
And when we rise, and we rise,
and when we notice the sky has been around us all along.
We have been walking into it. It has this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise and we
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we and we rise...
