Song is the heroics of speech.

Summary

This quote suggests that songs have the ability to make language mesmerizing and powerful. It implies that songs can elevate ordinary speech into something extraordinary. Just as heroes in stories possess incredible abilities and bring excitement, songs have a similar effect on the words they express. By infusing melody, rhythm, and emotion, songs have the power to captivate and engage their listeners, creating a special form of communication that goes beyond simple speech.
