Indeterminacy . text -by john cage

David Tudor
gives the impression
of not being overly fond of
mushrooms.
But one night he had
two helpings of morels
and then
finished the dish completely,
including the juice.

The next
afternoon while he was shaving
I read out loud the following
quotation from Leonardo da Vinci:

"Lo!
Some there are who can call
themselves nothing more than a passage
for food,
producers of
dung,
fillers up of
privies,
for of them
nothing else appears in the world
nor is there any virtue in
their work,
for
nothing of them remains
but full
privies."

David Tudor said,
"Perhaps they were good Buddhists."
