Poeme by Chausson is one of the most genius compositions one could offer to the world. It is the sum of all sorrow and tragedy. the pain soars and yearns inside the deepest bottom of one's heart. the heavenly hope and dream, the outburst of crying, the glory of death and belif, the insignificance of self existence, the immanent and omnipresent power of life and fate, the calm exception of the final tragedy, the fusion of all emotions and sentiments......

It just takes me away entirely whenever I hear and play this wonderful music. Through out the whole piece, I felt lonely, wretched, tortured, scorched, longing, craving, ecstatic, intoxicated, triumph, power and death....... It is a complete life. You won't regret to except death calmly after finishing this piece. The soul lives forever......
