Two Part Invention in D minor Songtext

von Wendy Carlos

This little volume
(The result of
Meditation and experience)
Is not intended
As an exhaustive treatise
On the much-written upon
Subject of the
Power of thought.
It is suggestive
Rather than explanatory,
Its object being
To stimulate
Men and women
To the discovery
And perception
Of the truth that -
"They themselves
Are makers of themselves"
By virtue of the thoughts
Which they choose and encourage;
That mind is the
Master weaver,
Both of the inner
Garment of character
And the outer
Garment of circumstance,
And that,
As they may
Have hitherto woven
In ignorance and pain
They may now weave
In enlightenment and happiness.
