origins of song

"... the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul."
J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace

Alice!
I stole two cotations from you to my blog.
This one - I red the book
and Carlos Paredes, the music that I also have and I'm earing now!
I bookmarked your page, because it put a smile in my face, and has a quotation from scum, a book that I red 30 years ago!
Yuupieee, I'm happy to find this wonder!
