"I would like to make a sound that is just pure telling. I was sitting on my back porch a few months ago, and I was listening to the wind for a long time until I realized: that's the sound I want to make. I don't want to write about that, I want to do that. Whatever that is—the wind in the trees. We've heard that sound before. It's oceanic; it's huge; it's on the verge of meaning. If you listen long enough you feel there's definitely meaning there. Then you realize it's just wind in the trees. I want to make that kind of noise. That big. That elemental. That dark. That fresh. That raw. That mysterious. Right on the verge of human meaning. Entirely nonhuman. I would like to make a noise like that." — Li-Young Lee
