But now, every manifestation of singing, i.e., sound and tone, can be transformed back into the corresponding movements. If, for example, one wants to express amazement, one actually grows up wanting to indicate this amazement with outstretched arms. One cannot do that. The world pushes you back. Therefore, what is wonder is compressed into an organ system. It becomes the sound a.
