NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE OCCURRED

WENDY MORRIS

I, the Ear

Listener for the Unsaid and the Unheard. Listener for the sounds that never die but are beyond the threshold of our hearing (Marconi). Listener to the air that is a vast library upon whose pages are forever written all that has ever been uttered (Babbage, 1937). Listener for those frozen cries that thaw on the deck of a ship in the Frozen Sea (Rabelais, 1546).
