Epigraph:
We are not only ourselves; we are also each other.
Epigraph:
What figures Bach, enchanting architect,
conjures from air to bridge the cryptic spaces
between us and the peace-giving solution
to what our nature is, how the world's made;
what tunes to show, through all our imperfection,
that our familiar world is one of substance
with music nobly written, rightly paced.
(Gwen Harwood, 'Divertimento', Selected Poems, Angus & Robertson, 1992)
