  4. "Music and silence-how I detest them both! How thanful we should be that ever since our Father entered Hell...no square inch of infernal space and no moment of infernal time has been surrendered to either of those abominable forces, but all has been occupied by Noise-Noise,the grand dynamism, the audible expression of all that is exultant, ruthless, and virile-Noise which alone defends us from silly qualms, despairing scuples, and impossible desires. We will make the universe a noise in the end...The melodies and silences of Heaven will be shouted down in the end.-The Screwtape Letters (p.9)
