Details

“In the beginning, when all things began, these were the sounds which were music to man.

‘Cicadas, crickets, beetles and frogs Seedpods, cocoons, hollowed out logs

Crackling fires, the patter of rain Thundering hooves on the African plain

Birds in the air, in the trees – on the land Wind in the grass through the leaves – over sand.”
