Art was for the young. They search for it, study it from different angles, in different lighting. They analyze it and debate it with friends. He no longer attended art openings or went to galleries. Over the past couple of years, David had been drawn to music, especially classical music.
Music is for the old.
It can be brought into their home and enjoyed in the solitude of a living room or bedroom. There is no need to pontificate or extrapolate. It is a solitary, introspective pleasure which is beyond words. It is enjoyed for its emotional resonance, not as a conversational dynamic. Tears rolled down David's cheek.
