“Their hearts swelled with its beauty, its mystery. With all it revealed, and all that it hid.”

Context: They stood and listened, arms around each other for comfort, as the sound washed over them. It reverberated in the marrow of their bones, sung high and sweet, heartbreakingly mournful, quick as a jig, slow as the saddest air. Their hearts swelled with its beauty, its mystery. With all it revealed, and all that it hid.
“Prostrate the beauteous ruin lies; and all
That shared its shelter perish in its fall.”
William Pitt the Younger (1759–1806) British politician
