“For the flowers are great blessings. For the Lord made a Nosegay in the meadow with his disciples and preached upon the lily. For the flowers have great virtues for all senses. For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary. For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's creation. For there is a language of flowers. For there is a sound reasoning upon all flowers. For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.” MadeLanguageSoundChristLordVirtueCreationFlowerBlessingAngelRootsPlantSensesReasoningWord Of GodDiscipleAdversariesLiliesGlorifyMeadowsGod's Creation Author:Christopher Smart
“It becomes evident that when the Life-power awakens its mysterious activity at the beginning of a cycle of manifestation those vibrations which we recognise as sound come into existence before the more rapid pulsations of electricity and light.

“What's holding me up is I'm confused about the nature of the music. Because the modern music doesn't reach me. I mean to say the sound of the modern electric production. A lot of sequencers... synths. That's what people are buying. Because that doesn't reach me, it throws me back to like 1948, but I don't want to be there. Back there, I'm talking about blues records... The roots of rock'n'roll is rhythm and blues and that's like really where I'm at, where I was always at.” PeopleWantMeanSoundTalkingRecordsModernRocksMusic IsRootsProductionsRhythmConfusedBuyingRock N RollElectricRhythm And BluesModern MusicI'm Confused Author:Joe Strummer
