They made their own sound-laughter, interminable rapping, impromptu guitar-plucking, the blare of transistor radios, and finally a makeshift concert by nondescript local bands, with amplifiers powered by two ice-cream trucks.

The idea was that the thoughts would blend and fertilize each other magically. Indeed, a few of the individual lyrics have come to seem as imperishable as Blake's.
