The Dazzled Eye Lost Its Speech (1992) may be sung either by mixed choir or four equal voices – both versions are provided, the former in standard lay-out, the latter in its original form as visual music.
The text is a Lithuanian translation by Sigitas Geda of a poem by the Polish poet Stanisław Grochowiak.
English translation:
The dazzled eye lost its speech
It was rolled on the globe
By a little ant with slender legs
Lithuanian translation:
apstulbusi akis prarado amą
nedidelė skruzdė plonytėm kojom
rito ją per gaublį
Original Polish text:
Głaz z osłupienia zaniemówił
Niewielka mrówka
Toczyła go po globie niciannymi łapkami
