a nyckelharpa and a flower

feathers on the line
An old friend came by this past weekend, and she brought with her a nyckelharpa, a Swedish musical instrument that's both keyed and bowed. It's older than the violin--my friend tells me there are old tapestries and paintings showing the angels playing these nyckelharpa in heaven. When the violin came along, they thought it was the devil's instrument--which explains so much, doesn't it?

Here's what it sounds like:



And here is a flower that I originally posted in the last entry, when I was flinging everything up there. I decided agains that, though... Not that the flower fits any better here. What is the connection between a nyckelharpa and a queen anne's lace plant that has grown to six or seven feet tall?

queen anne's lace

unexpected magnificence?

heavenly patterns?

sensory pleasures?
