You listen not only for what someone knows, but for what he or she is. Ears operate at the speed of sound, which is far slower than the speed of light the eyes take in.

It's also the way we listen to music: You don't look for extractable meaning, but to be moved.

I read the story and reread the story, but I still could not find the universality that the little Irishman had spoken of.
