Elsinore4u - Music

There is something very wonderful in music.
Words are wonderful enough;
but music is even more wonderful.
It speaks not to our thoughts as words do;
it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits,
to the very core and root of our souls.

Music soothes us,
stirs us up;
it puts noble feelings in us;
it melts us to tears;
we know not how;
it is a language by itself,
just as perfect, in its way,
as speech, as words;
just as divine,
just as Blessed

Charles Kingsley

Music washes away from the soul
the dust of every day life"

Berthold Auerbach

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music

Aldous Huxley

Music is a universal language.
Where speech fails,
then music begins.
It is the natural medium
for the expression of our emotions
the art that expresses in tones our
feelings which are too strong and deep
to be expressed in words.

Charles W. Landon

Yet there is one thing the world with
all its rottenness cannot take from us,
and that is the deep and abiding joy
and consolation perpetuate in great music.
Here the spirit may find home
and relief when all else fails.

Eric Fenby

A man should hear a little music,
read a little poetry,
and see a fine picture
every day of his life,
in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful
which God has implanted in the human soul.

Goethe

If music be the food of love, play on.
Give me excess of it.

William Shakespeare
