Martin (?) 1:32-2:23: "Where shall we find you? We've never searched for you in our lives. Your eyes had to be closed to open ours on the work of your life. Where to find you? Like a storm suddenly gone... Your eyes closed will see ours. You have created for us a tame flow of sounds. Strings filled with life that you have filled, sound by sound. To find you again on each instrument, open eyes listen, for you are there..."
