quote of the day

[sandpiper]

this was on my google page this morning, kind of a neat quote I thought a good thing for poets to ponder too. thought I'd share...

If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience.
- John Cage

[sleepsw/bear(Rick Stansberger)]

I like the quote. I think it's true. That means we have to find the musicality in nonmusical sounds and the poetry in nonpoetical things.
