The poet’s dream stole over him like sunlight
And passed into the tenebrous thickets.
Seamus Heaney

Spiros Papaloukas

The function of music is to create soul,

by creating conditions for myth,

the root of all soul.

Where there is no soul,

music creates it.

Where there is soul,

music sustains it.
