    "text": "Some one questioned the musician Androtion, \r\nskilled in what concerns the lyre, on a curious piece \r\nof instrumental lore. \" When you set the highest \r\nstring on the right in motion with the plectron, the \r\nlowest on the left quivers of its own accord with a \r\nslight twang, and is made to whisper reciprocally \r\nwhen its own highest string is struck ; so that I \r\nmarvel how nature made sympathetic to each other \r\nlifeless strings in a state of tension.” But he swore \r\nthat Aristoxenus, with his admirable knowledge of \r\nplectra, did not know the theoretical explanation of \r\nthis. \"The solution,” he said, \"is as follows. The \r\nstrings are all made of sheep’s gut dried all together.\r\nSo they are sisters and sound together as if related, \r\nshaving each other’s family voice. For they are all \r\nlegitimate children, being the issue of one belly, \r\nand they inherit those reciprocal noises. Just so \r\ndoes the right eye, when injured, often convey its \r\nown pain to the left eye.”",
