Questioner: From Keating: "It's funny," Keating remembered at one time he had wanted to be an artist. It was his mother who had chosen a better field in which to exercise his talent for drawing. Architecture, she had said, "It is such a respectable profession. Besides, you meet the best people in it." She had pushed him into his career. He had never known when or how.

He did not hear what the voice was saying. He heard the beauty of the sounds without meaning. He felt no need to know the meaning. He could be led blindly anywhere.”
