ReplyDeleteGoethe said,"Die Musik ist die rein geistigste aller Kuenste" -- in English that is "Music is the most spiritual of all the Arts."

"... When old age shall this generation waste,

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,
___ 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty, — that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’"
~ Keats - Ode on a Grecian Urn
