And then, behold! it came to pass
That sundry works of Philip Glass
Were played and heard throughout the land,
And lo! this same triadic brand,
Which triumphed thus from shore to shore,
Became the lingua franca for
At least a generation more.
And hark! an era's compositions
Engulfed in wanton repetitions.
