Playing with shapes, what do you see first?The first stanza of this 19th century poem is beautiful. The sheet music is available on Wikifonia, a site for musicians to publish and collaborate! I just stumbled on it. The concept is novel with lot of scope, should you register.
Inspired by numerous variations, since its first publication, I made the following 6 lines to be sung after the first stanza of the original poem that the diamonds hold (see the text within the image). The 3rd and 4th lines are of the same tune, sung in harmony or with seconds.
Carl Sagan once said,
“We are made of star stuff”
Should you happen to think like this,
Isn’t death a beautiful kiss!
“Starfish in the sky!”
Up above the dust so high.
Thanks to Google & Picasa I could do the basic fixes and effects to create the “Starfish in the sky” for this blogpost! Incidentally “Starfish in the sky” happens to be the opening line of the song composed by Joji in San Antonio as a 4-year old! Sky is the limit to one's height of imagination.
Coming back to the point, one can savor the diamonds, Mysore Pak, a timeless birthday sweet that took shape, but not on his star birthday! It was on 4/9. Imagine multiples of these floating on a starlit sky.
Ahoy! Sixty one diamonds! How many stars would that make?
