Excerpt from L'allegro, IL Penseroso Comus, and Lycidas Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony. Il Penseroso starts out in the early evening hours; he listens to the song of the nightingale, or, as he walks in the moonlight, hears the far-off curfew sound; he spends the evening in the contemplation of the great tragedies of antiquity, or devotes the later hours of the night to the study of the mysteries of life and immortality; and with the break of day he betakes himself to some quiet nook in the woods, or listens, under the high-em bowed roof of church or cathedral, to the ecstatic music of full-voiced choir and pealing organ.
