picture in my mind

I recently purchased an audiobook version of Checkmate (Dorothy Dunnett, Lymond Chronicles).
(How many versions of this series will I eventually possess, haha?)


Listened to this bit just this morning,
and can I say how much I love these lines?
Some of the best lines I've ever read:

...the moment of creation that occurs
when the warp is interlocked with the weft.
When the singer is matched with the sounding-board;
the dream with the poet.
When the sun and the fountain first meet one another.



So, so, so beautiful.
I would wait my whole life to witness such a thing.
