624. What about reading poetry instead?


Poetry has more clear and appreciable sound and music than what we call
music nowadays. Lines like "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all"
from Shakespeare have a more perfect, crystalline quality in their sound and
meaning than your typical rock and pop music. However, like low-fat food,
one has to get used to it to appreciate the flavor. William Carlos
Williams's "beside the white chickens" should be more ever-present to
people's considerations than the current pop song. But people can't handle
quiet or solitude, so they plug in to the loud herd-music.
