The playwright William Congreve said that "music has charms to soothe a savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak." I myself was once tamed a long time ago. My favorite things are still in this past even as I'm being drawn to the present.

Show me you understand the things I hold dear...

I think we should follow this new logic of it being a way to reference certain lines or words in a play.

i think it is music... stick with that.

if you flip every two letters around you can clearly see the word faded. thats all I got so far.

here I forgot this

G, A, D, C, F, Bb, F, D, C, G,D
G, A, D, C, F, Bb, A, D, E, A,D

A, G, C, D, B, F, F, d, C,D,D,G
A, G, C, D, B, F, A, d, E, D, D, A

Morons, Clearly he is speaking of cheesecake... No seriously I think it's about the play, But it also might be related to the music. It does mention a playwrite, and it mentions music. An odd puzzle.

The problem with it being chords or notes, is that they existed before Heroes. There's no way that they were meant to be a code related to a show that would exist in the next century...

I also have no idea how to rearrange them, if they were notes or chords. Trippy.

No offense to the English major, but I don't think you're right. I know what you're talking about with the V:vi:1 citing mode, but if you look at the code, there's only 2 numbers for most...
Also, I found a full text of the play that is quoted. Act and scene progresses as follows:
Act I has 2 scenes, Act II has 3 scenes, Act III has 2 scenes, Act IV has 1 scene, and Act V has 3 scenes. Nothing matches up using your method.
I have to agree with the music theory. Unfortunately, I don't know much about that subject...

Here's the passage from "The Mourning Bride" from which the quote is from. This is the beginning of Act 1 Scene 1.

Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?

Please note that this play also includes the quote "Hell hath no fury like a woman Scorned" at the end of Act 3 Scene 2.

Hey, those of you who figured out that the notes/chords/whatever were from "Blue in Green"... what are the words that correspond to those notes/chords? Maybe there's something there...

Whoever wrote this has had a love who obviously done them wrong but then they seem lonely they're reaching out by asking to crack a code but then they've been burned a few too many times to just let you in.... they also have something to lose and they are very isolated
