Beethoven's Fifth Symphony


Most famous four notes
in music: Beethoven's Fifth
dun-dun-dun-Dun!

Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash
the Morse Code for "V"—
Victory in the war!

Rap-Rap-Rap-RAP!
Fate knocking on the door—
Grim Reaper is calling!

North-South-East-West—
the four directions of Space
blowing in the wind.

Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter—
the four seasons of Time
sing of the Eternal.

Waking-Dream-Sleep-Turiya
the fourth state chanting
OM— "Be Awake!"
