Even if I had perfect hearing and vision, I'd never be able to describe her experience although she described perfectly what it is like in a symphony hall, hearing extraordinary music. What an ingenious and soulful woman she was.
As a musician and music teacher, I went to, listened to, and shared performances of Evelyn Glennie with my students, who were enraptured by her story. Helen Keller's letter describes her experience of sound much as Ms Glennie has in her writings. Who knows how many other non-hearing people have been or could be brought to the joy of sound. Deaf does not mean insensate, by any means.
Breathtaking. Her story enraptured me as a child. Now to listening to a reading of her magnificent vocabulary, I am stunned. Such a mind. Such a miraculous spirit.
What a remarkable woman, and such a touching letter.

What a wonderful experience reading her letter, imagining her excitement. Thank you for that.
She went on to do "incredible things". That is amazing and awesome! Please try to avoid using these now meaningless and overused superlatives.
