Music

Oscar Wilde?

 

Pirsig in 'Lila'. He actually uses the example of hearing a piece of
music for the first time when introducing the concept of 'dynamic
quality'. The passage is a bit long for me to quote as I am sure I would
end up typing it in 'adny' mode. Unlike ZATAMM the full text is not
available on the interwebby. Probably because it has just been
republished this year.

A restatement of the classic, "if you got to keep asking what it is all
the time, you ain't ever going to know."

You mean philosophology. I thought you meant philosophagy, which would
be of greater benefit to mankind.

 

"Fried or boiled?" You see what I mean about the 'adny' typing.

Simon Schama?

 

I'll give you analysing and intellectualising, but in the case Schama's
series I really don't think their is any intention to control.
