“My mother never seemed to listen to much music, but she loved Barbara Streisand, counting The Way We Were and Yentl as two of her favorite films. I remembered how we used to sing the song "Tell Him" together, and skipped through the album until I found it on track four. "Remember this?" I laughed, turning up the volume. It's a duet between Babe and Celine Dion, two powerhouse divas joining together for one epic track. Celine plays the role of a young woman afraid to confess her feelings to the man she loves, and Barbara is her confidant, encouraging her to take the plunge. "I'm scared, so afraid to show I care... Will he think me weak, if I tremble when I speak?" Celine begins. When I was a kid my mother used to quiver her lower lip for dramatic effect when she sang the word "tremble." We would trade verses in the living room. I was Barbara and she was Celine, the two of us adding interpretive dance and yearning facial expressions to really sell it. "I've been there, with my heart out in my hand..." I'd join in, a trail of chimes punctuating my entrance. "But what you must understand, you can't let the chance to love him pass you by!" I'd exclaim, prancing from side to side, raising my hand to urge my voice upward, showcasing my exaggerated vocal range. Then, together, we'd join in triumphantly. "Tell him! Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes! Reach out to him!" And we'd ballroom dance in a circle along the carpet, staring into each other's eyes as we crooned along to the chorus. My mom let out a soft giggle from the passenger seat and we sang quietly the rest of the way home. Driving out past the clearing just as the sun went down, the scalloped clouds flushed with a deep orange that made it look like magma.”

“The Bell Ringing Woman described me about the importance of every place in detail,while giving me her detailed sketches about the inland places,I noticed her headdress,which was made of silk and feathers bedecked in it. There are different colors of feathers there, as I knew,each feather had her color of mind.”

“The Revolution never going to die, it is still flowing in my nerves of steel. I listened,a stone is breaking, a thunder striking on the skies, revolution in the eyes of us bright,in the middle of us sound and with us it has coloring waves,now revolution is our broken finding in the middle of maddened soul, its thrill is yet breaking for courage.”

“December was that,the cold winds blowing against the city,the damp clouds made irregular shapes around every hour of suspense.The terrifying snowfalls did swallow the entire Florence.The Sun light beams are kissing the snow fallen roofs, and they made a glittering effect upon the Earth’s surface.”

“Where ever the design of their minds collaborate,then there would not be a horoscope to identify their matching souls, nothing could stop them in their curious push for the aesthetic Love with perceptual clarity, as if a crystalline stream ran forth to beautify their souls.”

“We descended from the chariot and walked across the volcanic Island in the Cyclades group of Greek islands.A fear did wake me like the active Santorini.I felt,anytime my mind outbreaks with the real passion of words. But I maintained my mind with a silent revenge,which was active,secretly in my inward cavity.”

“My gloominess,which sat with me in a corner of the chariot , O’, I speculated it was ‘myself ’ the ‘gloomy one’ and remembered the past occasions I cried,sitting idle,as an insatiate appetite.The skies, the nature,the air, the snow,the rainbow they all are my wonders ever and I oddly wandered to know the causes of their formation.There in my boyhood days the World aroused a ‘curiosity’ in my brains and I chased the World with mystery’s letters I ever wrote.”
