by Dulac (1882-1953). Probably from his illustrations for the 1909 Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

“Ah Love! could you and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits–and then
Re-mold it nearer to the Heart’s Desire!”
~from “The Rubaiyat”

A note about the title: The line “The earth has music for those who listen” has often been attributed William Shakespeare, but this appears to be a mistake. How this line turned into a meme credited to him is unclear. Still, I thought it fitting for a post about fossils and the evolution of hearing.
