An inspirational quote I wanted to share
Gillian wanted us to see this – from Sir Michael Tippett's obituary
"Tippett drew strength from a sense of belonging to a tradition, age-old and ever present, which is (he wrote memorably) 'to create images from the depths of the imagination and to give them form, whether visual, intellectual or musical....Images of the past, shapes of the future. Images of vigour for a decadent period, images of calm for one too violent, images of reconciliation for worlds torn by division. And in an age of mediocrity and shattered dreams, images of abounding, generous, exuberant beauty."
