Welleran Poltarnees here praise the beauty of music, and its power over our lives. He speaks of its healing and ordering qualities, its usefulness in transcending the limitations of existence, and its ability to both calm and energize us. He ascribes the power of music to its origins, which are at one and the same time inside us, where our heart beats and lungs work rhythmically, and outside us where the suns and stars wheel in a vast cosmic order. Paintings and illustration illuminate every thought, making this a fine gift for anyone to whom music is important.

Welleran Poltarnees
WELLERAN POLTARNEES has a lifelong love of gardens. His first memory is falling out of his baby carriage and landing on a bed of odorous white flowers which not only kept him from injury, but made the experience a sensual delight. He collects books about, and pictures of, gardens -- but there are few timeless things that he does not so honor. He uses a book called Great Gardens of the World as a guide whenever he travels, and, with the exception of the Boboli Gardens in Florence, which came highly recommended and which he found monotonous -- the gardens have always refreshed him. His favorite time for gardens is night. His favorite garden music is Manuel De Falla's "Nights in the Gardens of Spain", and his favorite garden poem is "The Garden" by Andrew Marvell.
