were happening in the sky
but the sun is setting and prevents you from seeing it”

“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)

“The setting was really perfect for a brisk bubbling murder....”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
