    “Two heavy trestles, and a board
    Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,

    That it may moralise
    My days out of their aimlessness.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We are supposed to be the children of Seth; but Seth is too much of an effete nonentity to deserve ancestral regard. No, we are the sons of Cain, and with violence can be associated the attacks on sound, stone, wood and metal that produced civilisation.”
    —Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

    “Good music is very close to primitive language.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
