Play the glass,Perform the glassWith a motion of the glass,with one breath,a multitude of tones are played on the glassThe glass like a living bodygrows and changes its formAll th shapes played by the glass resound with beautyWhen blowing the glass I feel like a maestroThen suddenly come to myselfand I am just a child playing with soap bubbles

I hate and I love: why I do so you may well ask. I do not know, but I feel it happen and am in agony.Odi et amo: quare id facium, fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
