“Strings in the earth and air / Make music sweet; / Strings by the river where / The willows meet.” One could imagine a Monteverdi madrigal melody accompanying this verse from the Chamber Music cycle by James Joyce. The poem’s delicate flute and lute parts evoke in my mind the open-eyed wonder of infants on discovering something new: the world is still full of gods; branches and clouds live; a caress has a taste; sight has a sound: sensation is still whole and free, not broken into fragmentary experiences.
