Out of the choked Devonian waters emerged sight and sound and the music that rolls invisible through the composer's brain. They are there still in the ooze along the tideline, though no one notices.

Pounding that kid, I really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes... Chuck Palahniuk

Bill Bryson
