Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't think you read too much into any of this you know
It's...I the lark ascending was written...
it was a piece written by Williams who died in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with calm set of sustained chords and then (coughs) sorry.

Anyway and so then the violin as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and repeated and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a by the English poet George Meredith
who died in 1909 and the composer included a of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

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

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And winging up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

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

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