Bok Tower - July 2018
Page 2: It's Easy to Forget
And it's so easy to forget.
It's so easy to forget that Bok Tower is a musical instrument.
An absurdly grandiose thing, heavier than a battleship, which, now and again, is played by means of a clavier, by a master specifically trained for it, at a dedicated institution for the job in Europe, and it produces sounds that can only come from heaven.
The original clavier which played the first notes to ever come from this singing tower can be seen in the building you pass through, when you come for a visit.
Stop. Give it the consideration which it is due. Contemplate it. It all seems so deceptively simple and easy to understand.
It is no such thing.

And it's so easy to forget.
It's so easy to forget that Bok Tower is a garden.
And not just any garden.
It is a botanical garden.
Meticulously arranged and cared for.
Indigenous.
World-class.
