THE LIGHT
Church of St. Lauri in Janakkala
Elisar Riddelin: Suite for violin and harp "Dreams, dances and pieces of mirrors"
I The mirrors twisted into each other
II I cried until sleep took me with it
III The distortion of the mirrors created the shadows of the dance
IV Dreams don't come in the twilight...
V If you could experience dreams when you look in the mirror
VI I would have danced, but my legs stopped moving...
...I looked in the mirror and it wasn't flickering anymore...
...I closed my eyes and the dreams were gone.
