“Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.” ― Leonard Bernstein

 “This couldn’t be just a lake. No real water was ever blue like that. A light breeze stirred the pin-cherry tree beside the window, ruffled the feathers of a fat sea gull promenading on the pink rocks below. The breeze was full of evergreen spice.”

― Dorothy Maywood Bird, Mystery at Laughing Water
