lead-in: "We may see and hear nothing if we choose..."

though every crowd has its several tones

nursery rhyme 'As I was going to Saint Ives, I met a man with seven wives, and every wife had seven sacks...'

Pont de Sevres, Paris (bridges of Paris)?

(there's always a choice of "tones", despite which we may choose to hear none of them?)

German Klavier: piano (musical instruments)

you can choose a clever tradesman, or not?


and each harmonical has a point of its own,

harmonica (musical instruments)
cf?? Bloom's fascination with concerthall acoustics and whispering galleries

crowd/tones, trade/mechanics, harmonical/point
