“Because it is gone you cannot say it will not return; even though you may say it has never yet returned-you cannot say that it will not. It is blasphemy to say a bit of metal has destroyed life, just as it is presumptuous to say that because life has disappeared it has been destroyed. I stood among the heaps of the dead and I knew-no, I felt that death is only a sound we make to signify the Thing we do not know.” KnowsMayHas BeensFeltBitsSoundGoneReturnDestroyedMetalsBlasphemyPresumptuous Book:Helmet For My Pillow [Illustrated Edition] Source: Helmet For My Pillow [Illustrated Edition]

“I like to make my voice sound like a piece of tin that's been stuck on the side of a chair, lifted up as far as it would go and then let to spring - "doooiiinng." I like to make it into a piece of metal from time to time and I can do it, both with the movements in my throat and with, uh, my little toys... So I like to take it beyond just a voice, more into the realms of a weapon.” LittlesI CanSoundSidesVoiceCan DoPiecesMovementWeaponsSpringStuckRealmsChairsThroatMetalsToysI Can Do ItTin Author:Robert Plant
