from Robin Rice's http://bewhoyouare.com/be-who-you-are-with-robin-rice/the-barn-dance
The story is titled The Barn Dance
Talking about a phenomenally gifted violin player who was torn between playing what was in her soul, 'wishing that the smallest bit of her own special laughter and her own little tears could find expression,' on her grandfather's fiddle, and being part of an orchestra that offered audiences beautiful music but to which she could never give the music in her soul. And she says as the years went by in this struggle between her soul music and orchestral music, 'her sorrow caused her blood to feel as though it moved through her veins as thick as pulled taffy.'
And the second is the words Rice uses to describe and old woman's eyes - they were 'like sapphires drenched in light.'
