But unheard are sweeter...
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter." - John Keats
From his exquisite poem Ode on a Grecian Urn.
Keats pushes all the right buttons for us. The tension between imagination and reality, the perfect and the flawed, the eternal and the transient. In this illustration, a constellation revolves like a record, and the groove spirals toward a waning moon.
