The...uh...atom, it's not really...I mean a symbol.
You see that and you atom.
It shows electrons moving in elliptical around a nucleus and all...we know...

mmhmm.

[David:] ...that's...that's not how an works. Or...or looks even, for that matter...

[Andy:] right. Uhmm. Ok. Yeah. I'm not really I see the connection. But...

And so the end starts with this...this called "the lark ascending."
Uhmm now what is...what is the
Is that...is also a metaphor for something?

uhmm. I gue...I mean I guess. I just...I don't think...
I don't you should read too much into any of this you know
It's...I mean the lark was written...
it was a piece written by Vaughn Williams who in 1958,
and uh, the work opens with this calm set of sustained and then (coughs) sorry.

Anyway and so the violin enters as the lark and it...
it starts with this series of ascending and intervals and this...
these nimble elongated arpeggios. Uhmm.
And he actually inspiration in a work by the English poet George Meredith
who in 1909 and the composer included a portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf...

[Andy:] uh...

[David:] ...of the work

....hold on wait...

...uhmm...

[Andy:] ...why do you mentioning...

...and it...

[Andy:] ...the year they

[David:] ...well it went...and it went like it says uh...

"He and begins to round,

He the silver chain of sound,

Of many without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, and shake.

For singing his heaven fills,

'Tis love of that he instills,

And ever up and up,

Our valley is his cup

And he the wine which

To us with him as he goes.

Till on his aerial rings

In light, and then the sings."

[Andy:] huh. Wow. nice. But I mean...but who is the lark?

[David:] I know.

[Andy:] sorry. I think i've got the page. Uhmm.
The script you gave me something different. It says, "you are."

[David:] but I don't...
I don't feel like the much of the time and uhmm there are other larks for me you know?

[Andy:] wait a second. Ok. So correct me if I'm but uhmm...

yeah.

[Andy:] ...in the script I you're...

right.

[Andy:] ...making a point art does this...

right.

[Andy:] ...you know the whole, it rises on wing earth to fill the heavens...

[Andy:] but. Uh. on. I mean...it...it says so right here.

[David:] yeah. Uhmm. But the ground at my feet.

[Andy:] hold...hold on just a second. Uh but I mean what about the 7?

[David:] did you ever that the sky is all the way to the ground?

[Andy:] wait. on. What?

[David:] we're walking around in it. in the sky.
is sky and there is ground and we're somewhere in between.
That is we live.
And sometimes some of us take wing and they do,
when feet leave the ground, even for a second,
they pull the of us with them.
And we rise, and when we rise,
and when we notice that the sky has been us all along.
We have been walking it. It has been this constant collision.
and depravity.
And we rise and we and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we rise and we and we rise and we rise and we rise
and we and we rise and we rise and we rise...
