 While the eye sees at the surface, the ear tends to

penetrate below the surface. Joachim-Ernst Berendt

points out that the ear is the only sense that (A)

fuses an ability to measure with an ability to judge.

We can discern different colors, but we can give a

precise number to different sounds. Our eyes do not

let us perceive with this kind of (B) precision.

An unmusical person can recognize an octave and,

perhaps once instructed, a quality of tone, that is, a C

or an F-sharp. Berendt points out that there are few

‘acoustical illusions’ ― something sounding like

something that in fact it is not ― while there are

many optical illusions. The ears do not lie. The sense

of hearing gives us a remarkable connection with the

invisible, underlying order of things. Through our

ears we gain access to vibration, which (C) underlies

everything around us. The sense of tone and music

in another’s voice gives us an enormous amount of

information about that person, about her stance

toward life, about her intentions.
