Book cover for Music After the Fall: Modern Composition and Culture Since 1989
Cultural history works in two directions: works of music, or any other art, are both products of their time and contributions toward it. That is to say, artists invent new things as much as they respond to existing ones.

J.G. Ballard
“If you can find a way of helping people, you'll live off the interest.”
J.G. Ballard, Empire of the Sun

D.H. Lawrence
“The light grew stronger, gushing up against the dark sap-hire of the transparent night. The light grew stronger, whiter, then over it hovered a flush of rose. A flush of rose, and then yellow, pale, new-created yellow, the whole quivering and poising momentarily over the fountain on the sky’s rim. The rose hovered and quivered, burned, fused to flame, to a transient red, while the yellow urged out in great waves, thrown from the ever-increasing fountain, great waves of yellow flinging into the sky, scattering its spray over the darkness, which became bluer and bluer, paler, till soon it would itself be a radiance, which had been darkness. The sun was coming.”
D.H. Lawrence, The Rainbow

Edith Wharton
“...and my heart tightened for the hard compulsions of the poor.”
Edith Wharton, Ethan Frome

Ian McEwan
“Was it possible to throw his life away in order to be polite?”
Ian McEwan, Lessons

D.H. Lawrence
“The salt, bitter passion of the sea, its indifference to the earth, its swinging, definite motion, its strength, its attack, and its salt burning, seemed to provoke her to a pitch of madness, tantalizing her with vast suggestions of fulfilment.”
D.H. Lawrence, The Rainbow
