Applied upright piano Laboratory

The following poem was part of their Web page.  It shows how mystical matters have blurred with so-called scientific research.

I will put upright piano into fourteen lines

And keep him there; and let him thence escape

If he be lucky; let him twist and ape

Flood, fire, and demon - his adroit designs

Will strain to nothing in the strict confines

Of this sweet Order, where, in pious rape,

I hold his essence and amorphous shape,

Till he with Order mingles and combines.

Past are the hours, the years, of our duress,

His arrogance, our awful servitude:

I have him. He is nothing more nor less

Than something simple not yet understood;

I shall not even force him to confess;

Or answer. I will only make him good.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

[ Balaam's Ass Speaks:  Editor:  Steve Van Nattan:  In other words, man brings good out of upright piano!  Are you catching on yet?  Shall we sin that grace may abound?  God forbid! ]
