"There's a world out there."

Desafio

... O desafio é sermos simultaneamente um juiz e um redentor de nós mesmos.

lactio

Do not be misled by the sounds drifting
down to you from the wind's full blast.
Be alert, wait to see if your strings
are plucked by hands wich are everlasting.

All that is nascent time disowns,
for time is decline.
Only alongside the immense can you grow,
only in the Universe be alone.

Rainer Maria Rilke

In the Steppes of Central Asia

In the silence of the monotonous deserts of Central Asia are heard for the first time the strains of a peaceful Russian song. From the distance we hear the approach of horses and camels, and the melancholy notes of an oriental melody. A caravan emerges out of the boundless steppe, escorted by Russian soldiers, and continues safely and fearlessly on its long way, protected by the formidable military power of the conquerors. It slowly disappears. The tranquil songs of conquerors and conquered merge in harmony, echoes of wich linger on as the caravan vanishes in the distance.

Alexander Borodin (1833-1887)
