The Soul Of The Great Musician Can

Our Capacities, Our Instincts For This Our Present Sphere Are But Half Developed. Let Us Be Completely Natural; Before We Trouble Ourselves With The Supernatural.

The Greeks Saw Everything In Forms Which We Are Trying To Ascertain As Law, And Classify As Cause.

Put Up At The Moment Of Greatest Suffering A Prayer, Not For Thy Own Escape, But For The Enfranchisement Of Some Being Dear To Thee, And The Sovereign Spirit Will Accept Thy Ransom.

The Soul Of The Great Musician Can Only Be Expressed In Music.

What I Mean By The Muse Is That Unimpeded Clearness Of The Intuitive Powers, Which A Perfectly Truthful Adherence To Every Admonition Of The Higher Instincts Would Bring To A Finely Organized Human Being. It May Appear As Prophesy Or As Poesy...should These Faculties Have Free Play, I Believe They Will Open Up New, Deeper And Purer Sources Of Joyous Inspiration Than Have As Yet Refreshed The Earth.
