“Learn the psalms and ponder the ways of
the early church. Know what must be known. Ancient fathers taught their
ancient children, who taught their ancient children, these very things.
Puritan Milton with his pagan muses. It is like a voice heard from
another room, singing for the pleasure of the song, and then you know
it, too, and through you it moves by accident and necessity down
generations. Then, why singing? Why pleasure in it? And why the blessing
of the moment when another voice is heard, dreaming to itself?”
