(So firm--so liquid-soft--again that tremulous, manly timbre! The perfect singing voice--deepest of all to me the lesson--trial and test of all:) How through those strains distilld--how the rapt ears, the soul of me, absorbing Fernandos heart, Manricos passionate call, Ernanis, sweet Gennaros, I fold thenceforth, or seek to fold, within my chants transmuting, Freedoms and Loves and Faiths unloosd cantabile, (As perfumes, colors, sunlights correlation:) From these, for these, with these, a hurried line, dead tenor, A wafted autumn leaf, dropt in the closing grave, the shoveld earth, To memory of thee. ./cache/chapter-356.txt ./txt/chapter-356.txt
