"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Song.


I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe -- but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way. I wouldn't be surprised if poetry -- poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs -- is how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song.

David Byrne
