Melancholy and the Picardy Third

[AppleSeed]

Ah, yes, black bile, cold and dry and stored in the spleen, with the least amount of nutrients.

Rather black bile than yellow (isn't that the choleric?)! Oh, well, I guess we need them all.

The old Greeks were pretty much on track. Weren't they the ones who came up with the modes? Like, soldiers weren't allowed to listen to aeolian?

Yep, but I'm not sure anyone really knows what their scales were really like. Probably closer to the arabic or persian scales of today, than the church modes. I love those middle eastern scales.

And the music of the spheres. When I was a kid I thought flying saucers could zip through the dimensions on sound waves.

Sweet! I had the idea that maybe one could stick the head outside of the atmosphere, and hear the music of the spheres.
