The Harmony Of Immortal Souls

J.S. Bach, violin concerto in A minor BWV 1041
(Hipstamatic Jane camera, Kodot XGrizzled film)

The new flash story in 'The Machine Sequence' is now up over at Imaginalis!  As I've stated earlier on the blog, these are prequel stories to my novel 'Machine Songs', which is currently proceeding through a second draft.

This piece features two Shakespeare quotes:

The first is from Lorenzo in The Merchant of Venice, Act V, scene i:

‘Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.'

Enter musicians 

The second is from Duke Vincentio in Measure for measure, Act IV, scene i:

' 'Tis good; though music oft hath such a charm
To make bad good, and good provoke to harm.'   

If you want to read them in order, check out the separate 'Machine Sequence' page in the site's menu.


More to follow over the next few weeks/months.
