They played the Cesar Franck quintet, --
"Molto moderato," and on through
"Allegro non Troppo." The poignant music
In fantastic dissonances, in thrilling harmonies,
Pierced encrustations, deepened awareness,
Crashed down defenses, asking a hundred questions,
And answering none.
Then after intermission
Came a quartet by Mozart, --
"Adagio-Allegro," "Andante Cantabile." Its loveliness
Quieted, healed, satisfied,
Left us enrapt, with every question answered.
