Cover: This tapestry from The Lady With the Unicom series represents the sense of Hearing. Of it the poet Rilke has said, “Should not music come into this stillness, is it not already there, subdued? Gravely and quietly she [the Lady] has gone forward . . . to the portable organ, and stands there, playing, separated by the row of pipes from the maid-servant, who is blowing the bellows on the other side. So lovely she has never yet been . . . Out of humor, the lion endures the sound, unwillingly, biting back a howl. But the unicorn is beautiful, as in undulating motion.”

from the Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge,   c. 1903-1910
