“Before everything happened I wished i had double voice box like a song bird so I could sing two songs at once, the way a bird can harmonize with itself. I wanted to sing crystal clear notes. I wanted to sing them one after anther in ascending order. And at the same time I wanted to let another fountain of notes descend from my heart.”
“My heart is like a singing bird.”
“Sing, boy! sing! The ages are waiting for you. Sing! sing! All the world will hear you. God knows what will come of it.”
“Make your siren's call and sing all you want. I will not hear what you have to say.”
“the bird sings as if to say that delight is easy, for those who desire it”
