A Musical Interlude

Happy Friday.
Here's a piece that shows that length doesn't make a song epic. In "To Be Alone," Howard takes a couplet -- two sentences, really, related only by the emotion they swim in -- and crafts a beautiful piece all about them. Kvothe would approve.

1. Loyalty.
2. Forbearance: self-control towards others.
3. Hardihood.
4. Generosity: not just a simple matter of giving away what one has, but "Largitas in a man caused him to set no store on greed or gifts, and to have nothing but contempt for bribes."
5. Benevolence. The Davidic ethic: It is the strongest quality of the preudomme - benevolence of the strong toward the weak.
6. Honor: honor is achieved by living up to the ideal of the preudomme and pursuing the qualities and behavior listed above.

7. Championship: everywhere and always be the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
