Musical Composition Language

    There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Like the train’s beat
    Swift language flutters the lips
    Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.
