XIII. "Do You Hear the People Sing?"

A Tale of Two Cities                                                                                                                                               

The most used line in speeches is from "A Tale of Two Cities:: "It was the Spring of Hope and the Winter of  our discontent."

Music is distinct from noise. Eloquence is distinct from data. Just as data requires intelligence, instinct and imagination to become information, so does any form of human endeavor, including music, speech, economics.
