THE STRUCTURE OF RIME II

What of the Structure of Rime? I said.

The Messenger in guise of a Lion roard: Why does man retract his song from the impoverishd air? He brings his young to the opening of the field. Does he so fear beautiful compulsion?

I in the guise of a Lion roard out great vowels and heard their amazing patterns.

A lion without disguise said: He that sang to charm the beasts was false of tongue. There is a melody within this surfeit of speech that is most man.
What of the Structure of Rime? I asked.

An absolute scale of resemblance and disresemblance establishes measures that are music in the actual world.

The Lion in the Zodiac replied:

The actual stars moving are music in the real world. This is the meaning of the music of the spheres.

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The plate features a poem by the American poet Robert Duncan (1919-1988) who wrote mainly around San Francisco.
