And so the end with this...this piece called "the lark ascending."
now what is...what is the lark?
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

[David:] uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I think...
I don't think you should read too much into any of you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of chords and then (coughs) sorry.
me. And uhmm.
Anyway and so then the violin as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of and repeated intervals and this...
these nimble then arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually found inspiration in a work by the English poet George
who died in 1909 and the composer a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

[David:] ...of the published

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the they died?

[David:] ...well it went...and it like this it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He drops the chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

love of earth that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our is his golden cup

And he the wine which

To lift us him as he goes.

lost on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

I don't know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think i've got the page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me something different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel like the lark of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but uhmm...

[Andy:] but. Uh. Hold on. I mean...it...it so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the pulls at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the 7?

did you ever notice that the sky is all the way to the ground?

wait. Hold on. What?

[David:] walking around in it. We're in the sky.
There is sky and there is ground and somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take and when they do,
when their feet leave the ground, for a second,
they pull the of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and we notice that the sky has been around us all along.
We have been into it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we and we rise and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we rise and we rise and we and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
