Anything can become music if listened to long enough

About This Quote

When the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, "Anything can become music if listened to long enough," he meant that any sound or noise can become music if you listen to it long enough. Sometimes, we might hear something and think that it is only a "sound," but then we will listen for a while and find that it has a rhythm or a melody.
