The night sky is an infinite viola and the milky way is a bow. . .
“The night sky is an infinite viola and the milky way is a bow and the universe is a carousel of flowing manes and fiery eyes”
The above is from this delightful and mentally delicious nugget commenting on this Christmas season from Over The Rhine. Over the Rhine is a wonderful wife and husband band that straddle the sacred and the profane. Rachel and I have been listening to their 1996 Christmas release, The Darkest Night of the Year. Rachel asks me a few questions about the album, and I found the commentary above. I would repost the entire letter, but it is a graphic.
By the way, they also have a new Christmas album out, Snow Angels.
