Pieces of music are wormholes, which we can enter to escape our normal experience of time.

Robert Spano, quoted in Justin Davidson, “Measure for Measure” (The New Yorker, Aug. 21, 2006.)

(This quote was stolen (Borrowed? I could try and return it later, I suppose) from a Terry Teachout entry in About Last Night. And I must confess I was relieved that he must have decided my site wasn’t “tedious”. Or could it be that he just forgot to delete me? Hmmm. But when I read that he was cleaning house, and that he deemed some sites tedious, my little heart started going “kabong, kabong” and I thought it would be curtains for yours truly. Whew.)
