When one first sees the word Magic one immediately thinks Ah here is something for the children.
If Magic was only meant for children then someone has a lot of explaining to do.
Why did a Russian classical composer set Sheherazade to music and why were the houses packed (by adults) wherever the ballet was performed?
Why did the President of the United States build his dreams on a magical place known as Camelot? Are the astronauts flying to the moon and the space rockets flying further not looking for some of God's magic?
And then there are magical items that draw the attention of adults even more than they do children. The night performances of "Red Shoes" and "The Red Violin" drew full houses.
The so-called Lost Chord appears in many writings. It's referred in that CD on which Leonard Cohen recorded that magnificent "Dance to the End of Love". On the same CD he sings a song called Hallelujah. It begins with the lines :
"I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord."
But there's the matter of love. Isn't there a level of love largely ignored by writers? Doesn't love exist in the following levels of comparison :
Affecton-Sensual Affection- Love-Magic?
Aren't we often missing the magic component. Shouldn't one write about it?
Well I've written about the Lost Chord and the element of magic in love. Whether I'll publish it or not I'll see.
You see the world seems to have largely pushed the mystical element to one side. Occasionally ancient poems of this ilk are revived and they indicate to us rush-here-rush-there people what was joyful once.
