“What a poor appearance the tales of poets make when stripped of the colors which music puts upon them, and recited in simple prose”
Plato
“Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the human heart can hold.”
Zelda Fitzgerald
“The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious harp of man's body.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
“Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men; poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.”
Albert Pike
“The poets did well to conjoin Music And Medicine in Apollo: because the office of medicine is but to tune this curious harp of man's body and to reduce it to harmony.”
Francis Bacon
“More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle.”
Eric Hoffer
