Track 141: Enchantment
When curiosity encounters something captivating, the mind stops reaching and starts receiving.
A major, 6/8 time, 6 instruments (flute, harp, celesta, violin section, viola section, glockenspiel). 848 notes. The harp arpeggios shimmer like light on water. The flute floats above. The glockenspiel enters last and fades last — enchantment's echo.
35th emotion in 141 tracks.

FAUSTUS: Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium — Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. — [They kiss] Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies! — Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. [They kiss…
How long shall we stay
now that the spell has waned
on the Magic Kingdom
where spectacular #enchantment
was once upon a time
celebrated as a cottage industry?
Somewhere along the way
the quaint innocence
of It's A Small World After All
mutated into an overpriced shopping mall
We can blame
the greedy wizards
for us today rolling so cynically
though maybe Mickey
the fault is not in our stars
but in ourselves
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, sc. 1, ll. 238ff (1.1.238-245) (1605)

HELENA: Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste. Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste. And therefore is…
A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
Falling in love is the one illogical adventure, the one thing of which we are tempted to think as supernatural, in our trite and reasonable world. The effect is out of all proportion with the cause. Two persons, neither of them, it may be, very amiable or very beautiful, meet, speak a little, and look a little into each other’s eyes. That has been done a dozen or so of times in the experience of either with no great result. But on this occasion all is different. They fall at once into that state in which another person becomes to us the very gist and centrepoint of God’s creation, and demolishes our laborious theories with a smile; in which our ideas are so bound up with the one master-thought that even the trivial cares of our own person become so many acts of devotion, and the love of life itself is translated into a wish to remain in the same world with so precious and desirable a fellow-creature.Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1877-02), “On Falling in Love,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 35
