A trip to the Isle of Staffa...

Dear Diary,

I went to Staffa to see the amazing musical cave, Fingal's Cave. People have journeyed here for centuries to stand transfixed in the cave. The song of the sea is amplified and it was, in fact, the inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn's Heberdian overture. I listen to it when I returned and could hear the tonal analogy he was making.

" Compared to this what are the cathedrals and places built by men! Mere models or playthings, imitations as his works will always be when compared to those of nature." Joseph Banks, 1772

Standing in wonder in this sacred space...
