Show! Show! Spectacle. Everything must be seen!

Let them see. Let them watch. Let them clap their hands.
 Let them shout. Let them cry. Let them love. Let them hate.
 Let them shed tears of joy. Let them scream of fury and anger.


Show! Show! Spectacle. Everything must be heard!

Let them know. Let them know everything.
 Let them mock and disdain. Let them praise and glorify.

So much toil, pain, effort, and nobody could see it, nobody was to know it?
It would be as if to write a beautiful story to be read by nobody.
 Would it? Wouldn't it? Yes or no? Or yes-and-no?

It would be as if to play a beautiful song to be heard by nobody.
 Would it? Wouldn't it? Yes or no? Or yes-and-no?

To write beautifully for nobody to read it – is it like to run in a forest when nobody's watching? Nobody? The trees are watching and seeing...
To play beautifully for nobody to listen – is it like to swim at night in a lake when nobody's watching? Nobody? The stars are watching and seeing...
