“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”

“the walk liberating, I was released from forms,
from the perpendiculars,
straight lines, blocks, boxes, binds
of thought
into the hues, shadings, rises, flowing bends and blends
of sight:”
