Sunday, April 03, 2005 I do not think that at the time, aged twelve, I could have guessed something I read much later, in one of Sigmund Freud's studies unless I am much mistaken: an observation that immediately struck me as convincing, suggesting that the deepest secret of music is that it is a gesture warding off paranoia, and we make music to defend ourselves against being overwhelmed by the terrors of reality. -- From "Moments musicaux", in W.G. Sebald's Campo Santo (p. 186). posted by Nicholas Laughlin | 7:48 AM |
