This Way That Way

Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 And that's what it keeps up doing for ever, and ever
 Only, it has holidays
 Which are called deaths
 You know, in the story of the creation of the world, in the Bible
 God works for seven days and rests the seventh
 It's necessary to have a holiday
 Holiday is holy day
 The point is – that a holiday – this pause
 Between something going on—is of the essence of the idea of a web
 There's a famous Irishman who is supposed to
 Have described a net as "a lot of holes tied together with string."
 So the holes are very, very important
 And these are the holy days
 You see? The holes
 It all goes together
 Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 And that's what it keeps up doing for ever, and ever
 So there must be that interval, and it exists on all kinds of levels
 It isn't simply that there is for example, a sound that is
 Sounded is a vibration, and the sound goes on and off
 Everything that we call sound is sound-silence
 There is no such thing as pure sound; you couldn't hear it
 What you hear is that "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap"
 Against the eardrum
 But it happens very fast so that you get more of
 An impression of sound than you do of silence
 But between every little undulation of sound there is also an interval
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 Really, deep down, we are – each one of us – everything that there is
 Doing it this way, and then again that way, and then again another way
 And that's what it keeps up doing for ever, and ever
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 When you listen to music you hear a melody
 But what you hear, actually, that makes the melody significant
 Are the steps between the tones; what we call the intervals
 And a person who doesn't hear intervals is tone-deaf
 He only hears noises, he doesn't hear the steps
 So that interval between whatever happens is
 As important as what happens
 So we'll call these two things the sound and the silence
 The life and the death
 Somewhat analogous in weaving to the warp and the woof
 Now look at the marvelous way in which the warp and woof go together
 A piece of cloth is an extraordinary thing when
 You consider it's made of a line of string
 There's something that always struck me as a
 Child; fabulous, that string – just thread – could turn into cloth
 Why should it hang together?
 How improbable
