with a loud groan
The temple sleeps

I could not see the ciccada. I could not see the bell nor the semantron. I could not see the monastery of Sankt Ana, only a peak of a tower maybe, a steeple or lightening rod, up there, amid the trees, after the thick, gnarly bramby scrub going up the hill from our camp site. The sun ferocious and oozing plasma. Finding shade, we drank our water and read our books and plotted our course. The toaca in the monastery struck -- the percussion of hammers on a plank of wood, sometimes call the semantron -- I'd learned about this sound from maybe Kazantzakis, Sikelianos, Seferis--  one of those Greek poets anyway. A sound resonant of Mt. Athos. I've never seen the bells on Athos. Hearing the percussion, I rushed to the car to grab the recorder and catch the strange dry tabla amid the clicking insistence of the insects marking out their mating territorries. In the morning after breaking camp and breaking our fast, we drove up to the hill to visit the monastery. And the mystery of the semantron and the bells was repeated on a Sunday morning as well.

Excerpt from "I Have Never Seen A Sound" by R. Murray Schafer 2009:
"Sounds tell me about spaces, whether small or large, narrow or broad, indoor or outdoor. Echoes and reverberation inform me about surfaces and obstructions. With practice I can begin to hear “acoustic shadows,” just like the blind."

The distant sound of the carillon bells at Reims Cathedral.
The shadow and light of stained glass.
The people. Their footsteps. The birds.

Extrait de "I Have Never Seen A Sound" par R. Murray Schafer 2009:
"Les sons me renseignent sur les espaces, qu'ils soient petits ou grands, étroits ou larges, intérieurs ou extérieurs. Les échos et la réverbération me renseignent sur les surfaces et les obstacles. Avec de l'entraînement, je peux commencer à entendre les "ombres acoustiques", tout comme les aveugles."

Le son lointain du carillon de cloches de la cathédrale de Reims.
L'ombre, la lumière des vitraux.
Les gens. Leurs pas. Les oiseaux.
