The Habit of Perfection

Poem written by Gerard Manley Hopkins For more songs like this, listen to the full playlist:    • Poetry Blues   Elected Silence, sing to me And beat upon my whorlèd ear, Pipe me to pastures still and be The music that I care to hear. Shape nothing, lips; be lovely-dumb: It is the shut, the curfew sent From there where all surrenders come Which only make you eloquent. Be shellèd, eyes, with double dark And find the uncreated light: This ruck and reel which you remark Coils, keeps, and teases simple sight. Palate, the hutch of tasty lust, Desire not to be rinsed with wine: The can must be so sweet, the crust So fresh that come in fasts divine! Nostrils, our careless breath that spend Upon the stir and keep of pride, What relish shall the censers send Along the sanctuary side! O feel-of-primrose hands, O feet That want the yield of plushy sward, But you shall walk the golden street And you unhouse and house the Lord. And, Poverty, be thou the bride And now the marriage feast begun, And lily-coloured clothes provide Your spouse not laboured-at nor spun. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AI Blues is a unique fusion of artificial intelligence and classic blues expression, rooted in the emotional depth of poetry. It combines melancholic melodies, improvised instrumental sections, and lyrics filled with longing, life struggles, and hope. Thanks to AI technology, the music takes on a new form—dynamic arrangements that adapt to the tone of the poetry, creating an authentic sonic experience. AI analyzes the rhythm and emotion of the verses, composing pieces that reflect the classic blues tradition while embracing modern innovation. In this way, AI Blues becomes a bridge between the past and the future, merging human emotion with the power of algorithms. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Blues #poem #BluesMusic #poetry #poetrywithmusic #spokenwordpoetry #music #AIBlues #AImusic
