Ensemble 20/21, Intro: MAIMETS — Infinite Blue Heights

[NB: Riho Maimets’s “Infinite Blue Heights” was inspired by the poem below by Ernst Enno]

Katkend Ernst Enno: luuletusest Meie hinges
Meie hinges on mägede igatsus —
mitte maiste mägede järele,
mille ladvul jää ja lumi
oma kodu on rajanud,
vaid tundmuste sinikõrgustele,
kus igavene valgus särab,
tõe päike paistab
ning südamed võimu võtavad
oma teed lõpetada
kirgede marus.

Excerpt from In Our Soul by Ernst Enno
(translated by R.E. Maimets)

Our souls embrace the yearning of the mountains —
Not the mountains of this realm,
Upon whose summits ice and snow
Have made their home,
But those of the infinite blue heights,
Where eternal daylight shineth,
Radiant Star of Truth prevaileth,
Hearts of Souls embraceth
Their path attaining
Passions' tempest flaming.
