Extra Information Epigraphs: Poems by John Keats (1795-1821)
  1. "many days have passed since last my heart / Was warmed luxuriously by divine Mozart; / By Arne delighted, or by Handel maddened; / Or by the song of Erin pierced and saddened:" (lines 109-112) from Epistle to Charles Cowden Clarke
  2. "Oh! what a voice is silent. It was soft / As mountain echoes, when the winds aloft / (The gentle winds of summer) meet in caves; / Or when in sheltered places the white waves / Are 'wakened into music......." (lines 1-5) from Oh! what a voice is silent
  3. "............ the tone / Of flutes upon the waters heard alone; / Like words that come upon the memory / Spoken by friends departed; ...." (lines 29-32) from Oh! what a voice is silent
  4. "I stood tip-toe upon a little hill, / The air was cooling, and so very still, / ............... / I gazed awhile, and felt as light, and free / As though the fanning wings of Mercury / Had played upon my heels; ....." (lines 1-2, 23-25) from I stood tiptoe upon a little hill
