Oh absolutely.
   I think the main point of the above-article is to show that
   writing is music by providing a concrete example of an easily
   musical style.

   I can hear the tone and cadence in that author's writing and
   hear a voice reciting them.

   World weary, gravely voice, A good example: the sentence of the
   2nd paragraph you wrote, the three "borrowed" parts would have
   the same intonation - I imagine each borrowed as having the same
   rhythm and tone, rather flat but ever so slightly desperate...
   matter-of-factly yet more gravely urgent.
