consertum: Beauty shall not lead me—
No, on no more passionate and never-ending question.
I am tired of stumbling after her
Through wild, familiar forests and strange morasses—
Tired of breaking my heart and losing my sleep, following
a fitfull gleam.

jfriello: Then No. 4 seems to come out of nowhere! It is so sonically different than the previous 3. The man figured it all out. To quote Louis Untermeyer: “He knew what he had done. He knew what he was.” I believe Ives is STILL the greatest American composer and will never be surpassed.

The fields run over with it, and this hill
Hoary and old,
Is young with buoyant blooms that flame and thrill.

LO, to the battle-ground of Life,
Child, you have come, like a conquering shout,
Out of a struggle—into strife;
Out of a darkness—into doubt.
Girt with the fragile armor of youth,
Child, you must ride into…
