~Music.~--Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony, but organically I am
incapable of a tune.--_Lamb._
All musical people seem to be happy; it is the engrossing pursuit;
almost the only innocent and unpunished passion.--_Sydney Smith._
Where painting is weakest, namely, in the expression of the highest
moral and spiritual ideas, there music is sublimely strong.--_Mrs.
Stowe._
There is something marvelous in music. I might almost say that music is,
in itself, a marvel. Its position is somewhere between the region of
thought and that of phenomena; a glimmering medium between mind and
matter, related to both and yet differing from either. Spiritual, and
yet requiring rhythm; material, and yet independent of space.--_Heinrich
Heine._
