âEntre.l Taur e.l Doble Signeâ
As I hear it, this song resembles the Reims image in that both address the distinctness of practical, human singing from cosmic intelligence and yet, because of the relationship of microcosm to macrocosm, maintain the possibility for human singing nevertheless to communicate the cosmic. Although âEntre.l Taur e.l Doble Signeâ is explicitly set in the critical zoneâthe exordial stanza evokes seasonal air and birdsong, and subsequent ones the changes of seasonâits wider frame is the outermost sphere where the two signs of the zodiac named in its opening line, Taurus and Gemini, are located. Its initial stanza descends vertiginously from the fixed stars in line 1 to the commonplace reality of human singing in line 9.
Between Taurus and Gemini, when the sweet season is born and the cold withers away, during which the clear cry of the birds arms itself up to the very treetops and the green branches, I feel a joy in my heart with which, rejoicing, I make firm words that are clear, rare, and certain, and with an exquisite, refined, and subtle understanding, I strengthen for the most sophisticated that which in singing I consider commonplace.
Entre.l Taur e.l Doble Signe
