  • What needs to be discharged is the intolerable tenderness of the past, the past gone and grieved over and never made sense of. Music ransoms us from the past, declares an amnesty, brackets and sets aside the old puzzles. Sing a new song. Start a new life, get a girl, look into her shadowy eyes, smile.

    Walker Percy (1978). “Love in the ruins: the adventures of a bad Catholic at a time near the end of the world”
