Sentences are not different enough to hold the attention unless they are dramatic. No ingenuity of varying structure will do.

That is all that can save poetry from sing-song, all that can save prose from itself.
Robert Frost

I think music should be free. I think all communication should be free. I think people should respect artists, and there should be a certain respect for artists who give their music away for free.

I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back,
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,
That the rude sea grew civil at her song;
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres,
To hear the sea-maid's music.
William Shakespeare
