  • bilby "The noise level was unearthly, for not just every house, but every occupant of every room in every house, had a different idea of the exact kind of popular music that would make the day go with a swing. In order to be heard everybody screamed like a macaw. In case any chink of silence should remain to disfigure the perfect din, most houses kept a pair of green parrots with clipped wings that peeped out from their homes under refrigerators and gas cookers and shrieked until the sky rang."
    - 'The São Francisco', Germaine Greer in The Madwoman's Underclothes. Sep 1, 2008
