And though I came to forget or regret all I have ever done, yet I would remember that once I saw the dragons aloft on the wind at sunset above the western isles; and I would be content.

The Talisman ~ Alexander Pushkin
Where the sea forever dances
Over lonely cliff and dune,
Where sweet twilight's vapor glances
In a warmer-glowing moon,
Where with the seraglio's graces
Daylong toys the Mussulman,
An enchantress 'mid embraces
Handed me a talisman

Wind and sand create waves
erasing the footprints we leave
and the castles we build with our lives.
Only memories remain
until they, too...vanish.

The moon shines bright. In such a night as this.
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise, in such a night.

An exquisite performance of the Liebestraum, Liszt's ‘Dream of Love’ No. 3 in A-flat major. Khatia Buniatishvili seems enraptured, as if she were alone with the Liebestraum in the concert hall. Take 5 minutes of your life to enjoy this transcendent performance.
