How beautiful shines 
To me, the nature! 
How the sun glows! 
How the mead smiles!

Blossoms penetrate 
From each branch 
And a thousand voices 
Out of the shrubbery

And joy, and joy 
From each breast. 
O earth, o sun,
O joy o lust!

O love, o love!
As golden, as beautiful 
As the morning clouds 
On those heights

You bless gloriously 
The fresh field
The blossoms’ steam 
The bountiful world.

O girl, girl
How I love you! 
Your eyes gaze! 
How you love me!

This is the way the lark loves 
Song and air
And morning flowers
The smell of heaven

How much I love you, 
My blood warmed
By you, for me, a youth, 
And joy and courage

For new songs
And dances
May you be happy eternally 
As long as you love me.

Scaath Catfish

Catfish Splinter

2011. Exaudi and Endymion. James Weeks (conductor). Text by Agnes Martin

"Nature is conquest, possession, eating, sleeping, procreation 
It is not aesthetic, not the kind of inspiration I'm interested in.   
....I believe in the recurrence...

  
...freedom from mastery and slavery 
freedom from what's dragging you down 
freedom from right and wrong... 

  
..no more conquests, no longer an enemy to anyone 
ego retired, wandering 
no longer a friend, master, slave 
all the opposites dead to the world and himself responsible" 

  
From “The Untroubled Mind” by Agnes Martin
