About the work:

The English poems were written by Emily Dickinson.

Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation and
The exponent of breath

 

THERE is a solitude of space,
A solitude of sea,
A solitude of Death, but these
Society shall be,
Compared with that profounder site,
That polar privacy,
A Soul admitted to Itself:
Finite Infinity.

Reviews:

… bevægede sig tekstligt og musikalsk ind i drømmenes verden … fint spænd i det klanglige.
