Give me a reason, to end this discussion, to break with tradition, to fall and divide. So let's not get carried, away with the process, of healing relations, I don't want to waste your time! ↗

Music is a mixed mathematical science that concerns the origens, attributes, and distinctions of sound, out of which a cultivated and lovely melody and harmony are made, so that God is honored and praised but mankind is moved to devotion, virtue, joy, and sorrow. ↗

Does sound have rhythm? Does it rise and fall like the ocean? Does sound come and go like wind? ↗

His voice was like soothing melted chocolate. I wanted him to ooze his lovely voice all over my naked body. ↗

A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. ↗

Contrasts The windows of my poetry are wide open on the boulevards and in the shop windows Shine The precious stones of light Listen to the violins of the limousines and the xylophones of the linotypes The sketcher washes with the hand-towel of the sky All is color spots And the hats of the women passing by are comets in the conflagration of the evening Unity There's no more unity All the clocks now read midnight after being set back ten minutes There's no more time. There's no more money. In the Chamber They are spoiling the marvelous elements of raw material ("Contrasts") ↗

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds: And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave; Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies. ↗

Sound is the most absorbent medium of all, soaking up histories and philosophical systems and physical surroundings and encoding them in something so slight as a single vocal quaver or icy harpsichord interjection. ↗

ブラジルには音楽があふれている。カフェに行けば、テーブルを何気なく指で叩いているお年寄りを見かけるし（それも信じられないような複雑なビートで叩く）、カーニヴァルが近づくころになると、リオの丘からはサンバのリズムが雷鳴のように轟く。バーに繰り出せば今度はギターが次から次へとまわされ、みんなが声をそろえて夜更けまで歌い興じる。古い歌だろうと何だろうと、彼らはブラジルの曲なら何でもそらで歌えてしまうのだ。 ブラジル人の心には常に音楽が宿っている。そしてブラジル人のしゃべる言葉、歩く腰つき、サッカーのドリブルなどなど、至るところにリズムが感じられる。[7ページ] ↗

To transform a grimace into a sound sounds impossible, yet it is possible to transform a vision into music, to go outside an enslaved personality, to become impersonal by transforming into sand, into water, into light. ↗
