listening and really like the music, I do think when you say " he will sit
holding a book in front of his nose, and turn over the pages with a
thoughtful aspect, but his actions have for him no real meaning." - that
this severely underestimates animal consciousness -
Thanks for the music!, Alan

The title of this song is:
"Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of
our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its
own which can never be repeated. Efforts to revive the art-principles of the
past will at best produce an art that is still-born. It is impossible
for us
to live and feel, as did the ancient Greeks. In the same way those who
strive to follow the Greek methods in sculpture achieve only a similarity of
form, the work remaining soulless for all time. Such imitation is mere
aping. Externally the monkey completely resembles a human being; he will sit
holding a book in front of his nose, and turn over the pages with a
thoughtful aspect, but his actions have for him no real meaning."
