Sun and moon divide the sky,
Fragrance blooms on pear wood bones:
Earth awakens with a sigh.
Wanderer revels on the path alone.
“Spring”, Deng Ming-Dao, From
356 Tao
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Well, my good sir, to put it crudely,
You see matters just as they lie;
We must look at them more shrewdly,
Or all life’s pleasures pass us by.
