Song of Universal Harmony . Thoroughly reading and letting oneself get into the book will lead to hearing the " song " of the book in one ' s mind - the special meaning behind simple words singing in one ' s mind , a melody along with ancient voices .

They tried to hear the song of Deneir , the song of universal mysteries , but were not strong enough to control the effects of that strange and beautiful music . The song is a sweet and melancholy melody , a song of living and dying , of salvation and damnation , of eternal energy and finite matter , sung with voices of ancient accents and reverent tones , a music of heavenly spheres , of sunrise and sunset and all the details that play eternally in between .
