This story is one of nostalgia for a time when people were more genuinely connected than they are today. Despite all our technology and social media, in some ways we are less connected than we were in the past. The narrator of the story laments that lack of the human voice in our society today. I tend to agree with him. The human voice is a powerful thing and is truly the best way for us to communicate and make connections with each other. In my illustration, the human voice is represented by the forms which issue forth from the mouths of the old man and the infant. These forms combine together to represent the connection that the old man and the baby are making through the human voice.
