Seeing the Sounds
Baal HaSulam
Sound and tremor
Are one and the
same,
But not all
sounds
Can be
pleasant.
The sound of
thunder is frightening,
Unpleasant to
the human ear,
Since the
tremor takes up
Much of the
power of its blow,
And also too
much time.
Even if the
blow were small,
It would still
irritate the ear
For it would
last too long.
But the sound of the violin
Is pleasant to
the listener,
Since the force
of the strike is measured
And its time is
accurately measured, too.
One who extends
the time
Ruins the
pleasantness.
