A Minuet Of Mozart's

Across the dimly lighted room
The violin drew wefts of sound,
Airily they wove and wound
And glimmered gold against the gloom.

I watched the music turn to light,
But at the pausing of the bow,
The web was broken and the glow
Was drowned within the wave of night.

    the verb processed the poem

    :A Minuet of Mozart's" re-categorizes joy.

    Lines 1., 2., 3., & 4. mark the timber of the walls and mountainous time with the timber! of the woodsy violin breaking the forestry with a basket or plucked cotton thread, harvesting out a blockahe.

    4. especially showed perks of not getting depressingly linked with one of our five senses.

    5. - 7. had shown how the mind's eye was drawn along, but it couldn't pretend brightness at a lapse if the suggestions of a gay time as with an unzippered wardrobe of day and there was a relapse.

    8. showed if it's not kept up, it disintegrates in the navy ocean tide of evening that warps against any craft's thin power.

    sarah teasdale saw similar to reading a tribune with no tribute by which you perceive a chasing, a darkness pumping that doesn't though have such an easy switch of lights as sighing the by-line to ribbon back the dungeon drape of words. It's a reminder to think of virtues more than by essays etcetera.

    Glimmered gold then drowned in a wave of night...tragically beautiful. Like life.
