Out of abyss emerges the matrix Primordial egg of existence Diaphanous womb of our universe Permeated by luminous power of celestial origin Tempest is released from its fetters Instantaneous collisions of energy thunderclap Pristine semina of duality take their stance Origin of diversity begins Mirror of endless contemplation crystallizes As the chrysalis manifests itself An entity of reflection, Of spiritual longing takes form Olamic metamorphosis impels cyclical inertia Causation begins Entrails of the nucleus expand and Break apart releasing the monad The lark ascends An ecstatic paean issues forth Venerating innocence with increasing charm As resonance illumines Lydian Measures The lark sojourns Till elixirs of lengthening vigilance overflow Then resumes its journey Curt Doll (After the Musical Composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams) The Large Version of The Lark Ascending Series   The Lark Ascending music by Ralph Vaughan Williams was composed in 1914 and revised in 1920. A musical composition for solo violin, The Lark Ascending is described as a pastoral piece depicting pre war England. However, taking into account the spiritual depth of his symphonic music, I personally perceive The Lark Ascending to evoke a deeper longing for the discovery of ones own inner being. As a graduate of Fine Art from the York Academy of Arts in 1977, I have been a lover of fine music, art and literature all of my life. The Lark Ascending Poem was inspired by the sublime violin composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams. It is my intention to reveal the interconnectedness between the arts; music, poetry and visual art by incorporating visual images along with this poem. The imagery and the poem are best appreciated when viewed and read while listening to the music. Ballet is implied by the final line in the poem. 2002 "The Lark Ascending" Poem was included in the International Library of Poetry Anthology: "The Solace of Night" Published by Watermark Press, One Poetry Plaza, Owings Mills, MD 21117 Each fine art print is 21" in height and is offered at $775.00 a piece.
