The Non-Works

Notes






                                      Let not light intrude
                                      upon my world of darkness
                                      and corrupt
                                      visions to come
                                      with dreams
                                      gone by.
 
 

     A ghostly,  white globe hovers in the upper right corner of a black page.  This globe most probably represents the moon, which aside from its common representation of romance, can also represent the deception which often accompanies romance.  Given the content of the poem, this latter interpretation is most likely.
     The poem appears on a misty gray cloud just below and to the left of the globe.  The script used is the blue, cursive character, inquisitive and optimistic.  Though not in appearance, in content this page is a close companion to the next page.
    The character of the script seems to be pleading with the confusing, often contradictory voices which invade his contemplation.  Exterior voices, even if they are as true as they claim, cannot supplant individual integrity.  These voices are based on the past.  Even if they encompass the motivations of the past, they are not the true voices of the future.  They are only clouding our main character's concentration.
 
 

        The music playing is " La Paix" from Hanel's Music for the Royal Fireworks.  It can be found at  Jonathan Gustelle's Midi Page.
