Of Mere Being
by Wallace Stevens
The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze decor,
A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
You know then that it is not the reason
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.
The palm stands on the edge of space.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird's fire-fangled feathers dangle down.

I was reading a book by John Grey where he quoted Stevens, which led me to this poem, which provided the title.

eassae,
Thank you for the review! Now listening to 4F 58: sounds like it could be a theme song for a movie! Well done!

I really love the xylophone-like synth sound. It's beautiful!

at first I thought it would be a lot of drones, but it turned into "machinery post apocalypse AI has taken over" - kinda vibes with great synths and expression! loved iteassae wrote: Fri May 15, 2026 1:06 pm Track 10:
