song moving names
Whence came I, whither go I? Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears.

The most popular name for it in our time is God – with a capital ‘G’. Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it. Erwin Schrodinger
