"Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven"

Four Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:

He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring's honeyed cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto Heaven: quiet coves

His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness—to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook:—

He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

-John Keats

I really enjoy that poem. So it is officially a week before I leave for New York City and I am very excited, but also really nervous at the same time. It's going to be very interesting navigating the city by myself, but hopefully I will not get lost and end up somewhere in the Bronx. In other news, I think I have decided to steer this blog in a musically oriented fashion, introducing some new finds every once in a while. Hope everyone enjoys it.
