My favorite musician, Mesomedes of Crete, used the water organ to accompany the recitation of his poem The Sphinx, a disturbing, undulating work, as elusive as the sand before the wind.
Kretako Mesomedesek, nire musikaririk hobetsienak, organo hidraulikoaz lagundu zion "Sfingea" zeritzàn bere poemaren errezitaldiari, obra asaldagarria huraxe benetan, bihurgunetsua, harea haizeari bezain iheskorra.
