Notes on Time - Paperback

by Cynthia Erlandson (Author)

The subject of time has intrigued not only philosophers from Aristotle and Augustine to those of the present day; to at least some extent, it has interested every human who has ever lived. In this collection, Cynthia Erlandson explores some of the captivating effects of time, particularly its interplay with music. Music measures time, can alter our perception of it, send us back to the past, or even make us feel we are outside of time. She believes that poetry is a form of music, and one of her main goals is to make words sing.
