David Sylvian - A Certain Slant Of Light (2010) new album<br /><br />Poem by Emily Dickinson<br /><br />There's a certain slant of light, <br />On winter afternoons <br />That oppresses, like the heft<br />Of cathedral tunes.<br />Heavenly hurt it gives us; <br />We can find no scar, <br />But internal difference <br />Where the meanings, are.<br /><br />None may teach it anything, <br />'T is the seal, despair, <br />An imperial affliction <br />Sent us of the air.<br /><br />When it comes, the landscape listens, <br />Shadows hold their breath; <br />When it goes, 't is like the distance <br />On the look of death.
