Quote

Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.

If a person sings quietly to himself on the street people smile with approval but if he talks it's not alright they think he's crazy. The singer is presumed to be happy and the talker unhappy.
