"Good sounds ...
... can’t easily be put into ordinary words.
One day I’d like to open my own musical instrument store in which
I would sell fountains of running water tuned in fourths and fifths,
and trees with leaves voiced for sleep that could be placed
near a bedroom window,
and long metal tubes of such low resonance they could be felt
but not heard,
and beehives in which the pedal point of the bees could be amplified
with a sounding box,
and treble frogs and bass frogs,
and stones that could be dropped on each other for percussion,
and drinking glasses that could be either struck lightly or rubbed,
and a bird feeder that would attract a variety of singers,
and fish that would make sonorous bubbles in a pond."
-- Thomas Moore
