Music, when soft voices die, vibrate in the memory ~ Byron
As if the pictures in Sensual Living weren't enough to strike an emotional chord in your heart, Llyod's descriptions of the sounds we have known all our lives are also vivid and powerful:
the gentle applause of rain
voices of people we love
a cat purring
village church bells
the clang of a toaster popping up
What sounds do you treasure?
giggles of 2 little girls coming from the closet.
ReplyDeletesound of my husband humming when he's into a project.
birds singing in the morning.
the soft hum of silence.
children laughing
ReplyDeletethe whir of a sewing machine
crickets in the summer
bees buzzing
but the very best is: the sound of snow falling at night.
Lindsey, I love your favorite sounds!

ReplyDeleteI live a few blocks away from a train now ~ I never get tired of that sound! Thanks for the reminder!
