A man undergoes pain sitting at a piano knowing thousands will die while he is
playing
He has two thoughts about this If he should stop they would be free of pain
If he could get the notes right he would be free of pain In the second case the first
thought would be erased
causing pain
It is this instance of playing
he would say to himself my eyes have grown hollow like yours
my head is enlarged though empty of thought
Such thoughts destroy music and this at least is good
