Different Drums

After the Oblique Strategies of Brian Eno, one of my favourite aphorisms is from the writings of the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau:

"If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away. "

But a similar quotation appears on the latest tattoo of Megan Fox [who she?].

In an article in the Guardian G2 tabloid, it attributes the new addition to her bodyart that snakes down her right flank from the back of her rib cage to the tip of her hip to poet Angela Monet. The enigmatic quotation reads:

"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music".

Yet Googling Monet suggests she does not exist.

The line appears to be an inspired re-working of a verse by the 13th century Sufi mystic, Rumi whose has a Nietzchian ring to it:

"We rarley hear the inward music but we're all dancing to it nevertheless"
