If I Were a Maestro

Description

“If I were a maestro, my life would be better, the space beneath my head would be vast, and the meaning of creation more beautiful. If I were a maestro, I would have an orchestra unlike any other: seven ethereal horses from Arabia, a flock of goldfinches from the heart of Asia, a blackbird from the North, a tiger walking fearlessly across the line they call the equator, and a ibex cradling its mirage in the mist, carrying it fearlessly across the winter steppes.”
