3 Novels:

"The rhythm represents the physiological emotion inseparable from the idea. Phonic values are embodied irrespective of the semantic aspect of the word. In his book 'L'Arte dei Rumori' ('The art of noises') (1913), Luigi Russolo, futurist, noted that 'there exists in language a wealth of timbre that no orchestra possesses... nature has endowed the instrument of the human voice with unique timbre-sounds. ... poets do not yet know how to derive from this inexhaustible source those expressive and emotive elements capable of giving their message a human resonance'."
