Music of the Spheres

In the beginning there was no beginning;

no no; no was; no in; no there— 

nothing that was, was, and all that wasn’t, 

inconceivable, and there was no one 

and nothing, and anything, to care: 

until such time—in due course—creation had begun

So Mozart ages hence could write his Requiem.
