A prayer said once is an event. Repeated across the day, it becomes a practice that holds.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

#PhilipGlass interprété par #EnsembleDedalus ? C'est par ici, Music With Changing Parts, dont j'ai une interprétation par le #PhilipGlassEnsemble enregistrée en 1971. Une très belle interprétation si vous voulez mon avis.
