how can we sustain such constant loss

... And yet home is easily our
idea of it, the music of decent and proper
order, it's this we must leave in some quite
specific place if we are not to carry it
everywhere with us
......................
... Music is truly the
sound of our time, since it is how we most
deeply recognise the home we may not
have: the loss is trust and you could
reverse that without change.

--J. H. Prynne, from 'Thoughts on Esterhazy Court Uniform' in The White Stones (1969).
