| Description |
This splendid fellow has a faraway look on his
face, as if he has become enthralled by the
pounding rhythm of the music to which he is
contributing. In addition to rattles at these
ancient funerary rites, there were assuredly
drums and flutes, perhaps singers of dirges as
well, all blending in an emotional pitch.
Sometimes, if we listen with an open heart, we
can hear the passionate tune drifting faintly
through the jungles of time.
- (PF.0981)
