Meditation is an album of duets by the American saxophonist George Coleman and Spanish pianist Tete Montoliu recorded in early 1977 and released on the Dutch label, Timeless.
“Meditation is the soul's perspective glass, whereby, in her long remove, she discerneth God, as if He were nearer at hand.”
“Thy thoughts to nobler meditations give, And study how to die, not how to live.”
“Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined, Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power,— Thoughts that ascend, like angels beautiful, A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind!”
“Man holds an inward talk with his self alone, which it behooves him to regulate well.”
“For with all our pretension to enlightenment, are we not now a talking, desultory, rather than a meditative generation?”
“Smiling means that we are ourselves, that we have sovereignty over ourselves, that we are not drowned in forgetfulness. This kind of smile can be seen on the faces of Buddhas and bodhisattvas.”
