"What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams." (Pedro Calderon 'Life is a Dream')

"Man must accept that his/her existence is entirely accidental. He must at last awake out of his millenary dream and discover his total solitude, his fundamental isolation. He must realise that, like a gypsy, he lives on the boundary of an alien world; a world that is deaf to his music and as indifferent to his hopes as it is to his suffering and his crimes." (Jacques Monod, Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine 1965)

The 'audio' link opens an .mp3 file in which the artist discusses the genesis of this piece, the Philip Larkin poem 'Deceptions'.
