diapason

Posted by speedygeoff on Monday, May 21, 2012 with

From harmony, from heavenly harmony
This universal frame began.
When Nature underneath a heap
Of jarring atoms lay,
And could not heave her head,
The tuneful voice was heard from high:
"Arise, ye more than dead!"
Then cold and hot and moist and dry
In order to their stations leap,
And Music's power obey
From harmony, from heavenly harmony
This universal frame began;
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes it ran,
The diapason closing full in Man
-John Dryden, A Song For St. Cecilia's Day

Coming up: There will be an AGM of the ACTVAC club this Wednesday, good idea to go, the more of us the better, to dilute any silliness. which is bound to emerge.
Also the Vets handicap next Sunday, I said I'd be there but it is not a favourite course so we will see what the day brings. And how I feel after Saturday's Parkrun 5k. [edit: I won't be able to make the Vets handicap after all]
