This stunning waveform depicts a unicorn's ethereal intonations fading into oblivion.
From Chapter 5 of by (thanks, Score Bunny!):
Mental whispers may seem:
- like an attempt to whistle
- ever so brief
- confidential
- delicate as thistledown
- familiar
- like a falling feather
- encouraging
- like rain on leaves
- faint
- like a soft blowing
- heavenly
- like a steaming teapot
- peaceful
- like a sleepy sigh
- lulling
- gentle
- soothing
- like a voice from the grave
- enchanted
- husky
- like a rustling wheatfield
- hollow
- like something from ancient times
- like rough cloth brushing along a dusty surface
- caressing
- like bubble bath
- like the wailing of some lost soul
- like an ancient, common tongue calling one back to a communion once shared long ago
“My unicorn can whisper strange things when I want him to, and sometimes when I don’t.”
—Larry Niven, More Magic (1984)
