“The music of revelation announces itself to the reader in somber brooding tones or in melodies light as air and one is invited to dance with the most captivating of partners: poetry.”
“Music is poetry with personality.”
“Poetry is the music of the soul”
“The measure of one's love for good poetry and for good music is the hatred, the violent hatred, one feels for bad poetry and bad music.”
“It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music.”
