[Andy:] cool. I was...I mean...I was never all great in science and.
And wasn't really my...my specialty...which is...which is I guess,
you know, why I'm a now. But uh...

mmhmm.

...anyway um...

well...

[Andy:] ...just or...

[David:] ...nah. I mean. Yeah.
The...uh...atom, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It electrons moving in elliptical paths around a nucleus and all...we know...

[David:] ...and so....and so that's why it was for the cover, you know...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really I see the connection. But...

[David:] ...well...and what we mean to say is that the of worship are inadequate,
much like the atom depiction. But this is what we have you
It us carry the idea.

And so the end starts with this...this piece called "the ascending."
Uhmm now is...what is the lark?
Is that...is that also a metaphor for

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

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

[Andy:] uh...

...of the published work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

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

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

...well it went...and it went like this it says uh...

"He rises and to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

Till lost on his rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. That's nice. But I mean...but who is the

I don't know.

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

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

[Andy:] a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

yeah.

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

[Andy:] ...making a point that art this...

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

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

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I what about the number 7?

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

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

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