That music always round me, unceasing,
unbeginning, yet long untaught I did not hear, But now the chorus
I hear and am elated, A tenor, strong, ascending with power and
health, with glad notes of daybreak I hear, A soprano at intervals
sailing buoyantly over the tops of immense waves, A transparent
base shuddering lusciously under and through the universe, The
triumphant tutti, the funeral wailings with sweet flutes and
violins, all these I fill myself with, I hear not the volumes of
sound merely, I am moved by the exquisite meanings, I listen to
the different voices winding in and out, striving, contending with
fiery vehemence to excel each other in emotion; I do not think the
performers know themselves—but now I think I begin to know them.
— Walt Whitman, 1819 - 1892
