"I have a vision of the Songlines stretching across the continents and ages; that wherever men have trodden they have left a trail of song (of which now and then we may catch an echo) and that these trails must reach back in time and space, to an isolated pocket in the African savannah, where the First Man opened his mouth in defiance of the terrors that surrounded him, shouted the opening stanza of the World Song, 'I AM.'"
Bruce Chatwin - Songlines (1987)
