圣杯在古老的罗斯林下静待，
剑刃圣杯守护着她的门宅，
与大师的杰作相拥入梦，
漫天星光下，她终可入眠。
In the mythological writings of William Blake, Urthona is one of the four Zoas, who were created when Albion, the primordial man, was divided fourfold. Specifically, he is the Zoa of inspiration and creativity. His female counterpart is Enitharmon. Urthona usually appears in his 'fallen' form, that of Los.
出自sToa1993年的首张音乐专辑【Urthona】。作为他们新古典主义歌特的奠基之作，高贵典雅，美伦美奂，充分体现了Stoa无与伦比的键琴技巧，秋水长天，尽在一曲之中。这也就是 neo-classical 巴洛克式的密集繁复而优美的音乐，轻柔而宿命的女高音。有个陌生人说STOA使他联想到尼采的诗。……真想化作无形无重的物质，住在这音乐里，不再有思想，不再有欲望……
最受好评的一首大概是Autumn，这里选了我喜欢的一首Dust。说是哥特的一张，但是根本不黑不阴郁啊，相较于后来的Porta，真的还是最喜欢这一张，高贵秀丽。
I vex my heart with fancies dim:
He still outstript me in the race;
It was but unity of place
That made me dream I ranked with him.
And so May place retain us still,
And he the much-beloved again,
A lord of large experience, train
To riper growth the mind and will:
And what delights can equal those
That stir the spirits inner deeps,
When one that loves but knows not, reaps
A truth from one that loves and
Knows?
