The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! —William Wordsworth, The world is too much with us   No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her…

Geodesic folds reverberating outwards and back, a math explosion onto a white which holds the meaning of crisp.

Elgar’s composition of twelve variations on a theme is composed to suggest the personality of a friend, personifying some quirk of character through the texture of music.
