Angelic Violinist

From the book Night by Elie Wiesel. Juliek was a violinist who was at the same concentration camp as Elie and when they were "evacuating" in the winter, Juliek managed to bring his violin with him. Is it okay to put a book insert in here? I'm going to, but someone'd better tell me otherwise so I can erase it without getting in trouble.

"...I heard the sound of a violin. The sound of a violin, in this dark shed, where the dead were heaped on the living. What madman could be playing the violin here, at the brink of his own grave? Or was it really an hallucination?
"It must have been Juliek.
"He played a fragment from Beethoven's concerto. I had never heard sounds so pure. In such a silence.
"How had he managed to free himself? To draw his body from under mine without my being aware of it?
"It was pitch dark. I could hear only the violin, and it was as though Juliek's soul were the bow. He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the strings -- his lost hopes, his charred past, his extinguished futury. He played as he would never play again.
"I shall never forget Juliek. How could I forget that concert, given to an audience of dying and dead men! To this day, whenever I hear Beethoven played, my eyes close and out of th dark rises the sad, pale face of my Polish friend, as he said farewell on his violin to an audience of dying men.
"I do not know for how long he played. I was overcome by sleep. When I awoke, in the daylight, I could see Juliek, opposite me, slumped over, dead. Near him lay his violin, smashed, trampled, a strange overwhelming little corpse."


This scene just absolutely touched me and I had to put the book down to cry. I was inspired to draw a picture, even if it does it absolutely no justice. He's playing music to an audience of angels now.

It's very likely that I'll color this with that coloring program I used with the Umbrella Light pic.

AGAIN!! TELL ME IF IT'S OKAY OR NOT TO HAVE A BOOK EXCERPT IN MY DESCRIPTION TO EXPLAIN WHY I DREW AND POSTED THIS PICTURE!!
