‘Thy Voice is like to Music heard ere Birth/Some Spirit-Lute touched on a Spirit Sea’ (1902). Sigismund Christian Hubert Goetze (British, 1866-1939). Oil on canvas. Lady Lever Art Gallery.From the long poem Marpessa (1897) by Stephen Phillips.“Thy voice is like to music heard ere birth. Some spirit lute touched on a spirit sea; Thy face remembered is from other worlds. It has been died for, though I know not when. It has been sung of, though I know not where.” -- source link
