@saileeification It's sung in Egyptian by Akhnaten and Nefertiti (love poem found in a royal mummy of the Armarna period. I breathe the sweet breath Which comes forth from thy mouth. I behold thy beauty every day. It is my desire That I may be rejuvenated With life through love Of thee. Give me thy hands, holding thy spirit. that I may receive it and may live by it. Call thou upon my name unto eternity And it shall never fail.

- Por que Philip Glass toca poucas notas?

- Porque ele só toca as boas.

This is great genius and so powerful! I wonder if people will ever really recognise this Woland of the two centuries.- Charles

This made me cry. I think this is notable considering that no other piece of music, film, or literature has ever achieved the same effect.
