Some Pleasures and Perils of Iteration

In “A Lost Chord,” the author discovered a marvelous musical chord by accident while letting her fingers wander over the organ keyboard. The chord brought such peace to her soul that it pronlised solutions to all earthly problems. Unfortunately, she was never able to recreate the lost chord, despite years of searching, and the poem ends with the hope that perhaps in the eternities she may be able to discover and hear the chord again.
