    This passage describes two characters sitting outside at night listening to the sounds of music and harmony from the heavens. While their mortal bodies prevent them from fully hearing the immortal souls singing in harmony, the night provides a moment of sweet stillness and music creeping into their ears from the heavenly bodies above.

    How Sweet The Moonlight Sleeps How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!

    Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold: Theres not the smallest orb which thou beholdst But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins; Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE The Merchant of Venice, Vi
