Happy New Year, everyone - I trust and hope you had wonderful holidays, recharging the batteries and the soul, for wonderful inspiration throughout 2023.
I'm still groggily waking up from all the festivities, haha, so ... this is the best I could do by way of a first 2023 track.
Out Of Quiet Solitude I was reading the wonderful poem "The Legend of the Evening Star", by Mihai Eminescu, as translated into English by someone called Adrian George Sahlean. I really recommend this poem, in full, IF and ONLY IF you can get hold of the Sahlean translations (all the others I have seen are dreadful, sadly, in my view) - this little-known author has been a source of constant inspiration to me. Anyway, I chanced upon this excerpt, time and time again, and it inspired the title of the track I bring to you today. I hope you enjoy both Eminescu's verses, as well as my humble track :-) Here's the excerpt in question.
"But of forgotten quietude
A lonely star was crowned
That brings to seas of solitude
Horizons without bound;
And secret tears my eyes prevail,
With eyelids closed I weep
When to the star the waves set sail
In slow, wayfaring sweep.
He glows above with love untold
To ease my bosom pain -
But soars yet higher to behold
So I could never gain;
With rays of cold, from worlds apart,
The distance he would breach ...
Forever he'll be in my heart,
Forever out of reach ...
And so at day in thought I dwell,
Lonely as waste of land,
While nights fill with a sacred spell
I cannot understand."
