he made love with bass

thrusting with plucks of catgut

strumming everything

Author's Note

“The echo is, to some extent, an original sound, and therein is the magic and charm of it. It is not merely a repetition of what was worth repeating in the bell, but partly the voice of the wood; the same trivial words and notes sung by a wood-nymph.” - Thoreau
