Peter, I have read and enjoyed this chain of posts more than anything in Audiogon, ever. I am a longtime owner and lover of Soundsmith cartridges and feel fortunate to get to know you a bit from afar. Stay well.
Soundsmith - Thank you to everyone.
Beautiful
Too beautiful to go back to sleep
The morning sprite before the sun
black silhouetted trees that edge the world
respeak stillness as night’s undone
in quiescent twilight day is birthed
So perfect in its offering
infinite outcomes by love conceived
Immaculately separate from our suffering
To taste the dew that’s offered up
One would have to sacrifice
The comfort of one’s darkened view
The tradeoff believed that will suffice
So it’s a crow that breaks the dawn
Unravels peace that must unwind
And signals end to mornings birth
To usher deeds of manunkind
Too beautiful to be believed
timeless in its continuing
Miraculous to be conceived
So fragile in its offering
Peter Ledermann
