“We do not realize the sound the world makes-unless of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when it starts, it sounds like an orchestra.Breaking waves. Whipping wind. Falling rain. Squawking birds. All throughout the universe, time resumed and nature sang.”
“Does sound have rhythm? Does it rise and fall like the ocean? Does sound come and go like wind?”
“The sound of the waves was more soothing than any other sound in the world, save maybe the rain.”
“What shell did not feel the sound waves and which bird did not face at least once the wind?”
“The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach. I have heard them all, and of the three elemental voices, that of ocean is the most awesome, beautiful and varied.”
“When the wind stops, kite falls but bird flies; because bird did not borrow the wind when rising!”
