On Godowsky's Java suite, Boro Budur in Moonlight [5/12]

V. Boro Budur in Moonlight On a sacred hill, in the heart of Java, some thirty miles from Djokja, stand the colossal ruins of the most gigantic and imposing Buddhist monument in existence, the world famous temple of Boro Budur, “The Shrine of the Many Buddhas.” No matter how blasé the weary traveller may be , he cannot fail to be stirred and bewildered by the stupendous masonry and by the hundreds of sculptured Buddhas, images and bas-reliefs. The amazing dimensions and incredible craftsmanship enrapture the senses; the loftiness of conception, the luxuriance of imagination thrill the beholder. --------------------------------------- In moonlight, Boro Budur is most fantastic. An uncanny, eerie, melancholy mood permeates the whole atmosphere. Deep silence and a sense of strangeness and out-of-the-worldness contribute to the impression of utter desolation and to the feeling of inevitable decay and dissolution of all things earthly, the hopeless struggle of human endeavour against eternity.
