The next two poems are related.

00:00:05.090 --> 00:00:10.510 align:middle line:84%
The first of them to music,
and the second to you

00:00:10.510 --> 00:00:13.150 align:middle line:90%
could say the graphic arts.

00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
Each of which has had
connections with poetry

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:21.360 align:middle line:84%
for the case of music ever since
the beginning, and the case

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:27.300 align:middle line:84%
of painting and especially
in the last 60 years or so.

00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:28.965 align:middle line:84%
The first is called
"Organ Music."

00:00:28.965 --> 00:00:32.390 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:37.930 align:middle line:84%
Clouds marrying roses
to their only daughters,

00:00:37.930 --> 00:00:45.090 align:middle line:84%
fountains of sperm erected in
the courtyard of the fugue.

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:51.770 align:middle line:84%
Green music, gradient at the
altar, the organ building,

00:00:51.770 --> 00:00:57.430 align:middle line:84%
a great bronze stock
and the cathedral choir.

00:00:57.430 --> 00:01:03.940 align:middle line:84%
Angels pass one another
mounting the frozen stairs.

00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:10.270 align:middle line:84%
The organist feels the music
struggle against his hands.

00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:15.940 align:middle line:84%
Great blocks of sound,
still to be carved.

00:01:15.940 --> 00:01:21.520 align:middle line:84%
With both feet teaching
the silence to behave,

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.690 align:middle line:84%
trying careful not to
crush any crumbs of light.

00:01:27.690 --> 00:01:28.451 align:middle line:90%
