+++Die Zeit vor dem Wort.
Das Geräusch, der Klang, der zum Wort führt.
Am Anfang war nicht das Wort. Genauer:
Am Anfang war das Geräusch.++++++The time before the word.
The noise, the sound, which leads to the word.
At the beginning was not the word.
More exactly: At the beginning was the noise. +++Vom Geräusch
zum Laut

„1 There is an ancient story in the East which tells that there was a wall of mystery.
2 Whenever anyone tried to climb up the wall to look at the other side, i instead of coming back he smiled and jumped over and never came back again.
3 So the people of that country became very curious to know what mystery was behind that wall.
4 Once when someone was climbing up the wall to see what was on the other side they put chains on his feet, and held him so that he would not go over.
5 When he looked at the other side, he too was delighted with what he saw and smiled;
6 and those standing at the foot of the wall, curious to know what he had to say, pulled him back.
7 But to their great disappointment he had lost his speech.“
