Music is the poetry of the air.

-- Jean Paul Richter

 

Music is not a science any more than poetry is.  It is a sublime instinct, like genius of all kinds.

-- Louise de la Rame

 Musick and poetry have ever been acknowledged Sisters, which walking hand in hand support each other.

-- Henry Purcell

 

I do not know what I was playing,

     Or what I was dreaming then;

But I struck one chord of music,

     Like the sound of a great Amen.

-- Adelaide Anne Procter
