...Bach in the Park. To break up the two-block length and provide a measure of privacy for each activity, the four "rooms" are at different levels. For adults, especially women with baby carriages, the architects provided a peaceful, elevated sitting area, walled in to keep out wind and noise. Next to it they scooped out a sunken 1,000-seat amphitheater; it has already been booked throughout the summer for free concerts and sing-alongs, ballet and amateur talent shows, and will be used this June for local high school graduation exercises...
Testing the amphitheater's loudspeaker system with a Bach cantata recently, audio engineers got a big surprise: when they turned it off, residents complained about losing "all the nice music." As a result they now hear Bach and other classical composers nightly...
...effect is that of making Mondrian's Boogie-Woogie paintings swing. Agam calls his works "contrapuntals," has even named one Homage to Johann Sebastian Bach for its fugue of color. He uses this oblique approach, he says, to avoid the Judaic religious restrictions on graven images. "In flux, one cannot perceive reality, but only a part of it," he says.

...Waste Land; it's necessary to kick him, otherwise he won't perform, and if he doesn't perform there's no poem. Because a poem is a reciprocal kind of action between the writer and the reader. No reader, no poem. It's like unperformed music, Bach scores lying in manuscript for hundreds of years. That's what a poem unread is like...Not too good...So you get the reader awake, and once he's awake you make sure he stays awake. And you tell him all of things he doesn't want to hear. But you tell...
