GEMS OF THOUGHT
MUSIC. Music is the fourth great material want of our nature, —first food, then raiment, then shelter, then music.— Bovee. *Harmony makes small things grow; lack of it makes great things decay.— Sallust. Music resembles poetry; in each are numerous graces which no methods teach, and which a master hand alone can reach. —Pope. The direct relation of music is not to ideas, but to emotions —in the works of its greatest masters, it is more marvellous, more mysterious than poetry. —Henry Giles. Music is the harmony of being; but the soul of music affords the only strains that thrill the cords of feeling and awaken the heart’s harpstrings. — Mary Baker Eddy. The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart. —Richard Wagner.
