  1. Reading this at the moment, 'hypothetical song, Augustine.



    "As in singing, the silences interpose at definite and measured intervals- although they are privations of sound- are yet well ordered by those who know how to sing and can contribute to the whole song…….

    …… For the form of the voice once pronounced, passes away, and is effaced in silence. Yet our speech consists of the departure and succession of words which pass, and is marked sweetly and becomingly by measured intervals of silence. The same applies even to the lowest beauty of temporal natures which consists of the passing of things and is marked by the death of what has been born."
