Description:
William Butler Yeats once wrote a poem titled To a Friend Whose Work has Come to Nothing (1931). In 1960, the American poet Anne Sexton wrote the following poem, as a part of her first published work, Bedlam and Part Way Back. I see it as an encouraging advice to reach the sun. If you never tried, you'll never know. I thought it fitted very well to the trombone concerto and the soloist's determined will to make the music fly.
