ODE ON LISTENING TO MUSIC
what appeals to me
so much about haydn’s mus
ic is you get what
you hear – man bekommt
was man hört – the same applies
to poetry i
sincerely hope – you
get what you read for if the
words meant something else
than precisely what
is there on the page why not
write that something else?
