“Music resembles poetry, in eachAre nameless graces which no methods teach,And which a master hand alone can reach.”
“All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.”
“It is in vain for man to endeavor to instruct man in those things which the Holy Spirit alone can teach.”
“Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.”
“Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought.”
“The arts which need interpretation are the arts of time -- music and poetry -- and not the arts of space -- sculpture and painting.”
