Replying to a comment on:

Mixed Quartet (Free verse) by Dovina

They were variously toned, but harmoniously united. They broadcast a whole, surpassing parts summed. Soprano: orientally quick, precise. Alto: whitely sharp, analytical. Tenor: latinly soulish, devoted. Bass: Africanly smooth, limber. But they were all the same race, geneticists say.

The star looked in across the threshold.
The only one of them who could
Know the meaning of that look
Was the infant. But He did not speak.

- Joseph Brodsky, trans. Seamus Heaney
