Written for the Argus Quartet in Fall 2017 for performance at Princeton University.

"No doubt that is true. Our dream of life will end as dreams do
end, abruptly and completely, when the sun rises, when the
light comes. And we will think, All that fear and all that grief
were about nothing. But that cannot be true. I can't believe we
will forget our sorrows altogether. That would mean forgetting
that we had lived, humanly speaking. Sorrow seems to me to
be a great part of the substance of human life."
- Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
