• I've always been a fan of vinyl. There's something about the ritual of it. Something about it holds its gravity, for some reason.

• Poetry is a second translation of the soul's feeling; it must be rendered into thought, and thought must change its nebulous robe of semi-wording into definite language, before it reaches another heart. Music is a first translation of feeling, needing no second, but entering the heart direct.
