To Sing in Harmony

The rise of the Bridge-Builders marked the end of the aesthetic schism and the beginning of a new, more integrated age. The Verse learned to value not just the purity of a single idea, but the complex beauty of a conversation. The Shepherds’ silences became more profound when contrasted with the Dancers’ storms, and the Dancers’ creations gained new layers of meaning when viewed from the stable ground of the Shepherds’ art. The bridges had not erased the differences, but had, instead, allowed them to sing in harmony.
