“Debussy”
“Debussy had taken them on a supremely inspired journey through the subtle realms of creation, up from Total Stillness to the minutest quiverings of life, up from these faintest quiverings to ever more concrete excitations of vital energy. They had been witnesses to the dawning of a day, to the awakening of the animal kingdom, to the rising of the sun, to the warming of the brown earth. They had watched as the birds and insects began the first stirrings of life in the deep forest. They had seen the larger creatures shuffle and move and finally open their heavy eyes.” (from “Enlightened Relations: The Life in a Day”)
