Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of
knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot
comprehend.
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the
wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this
glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit.
We mortals with immortal minds are only born for sufferings and joys,
and one could almost say that the most excellent receive joy through
sufferings.
I shall hear in Heaven.
Do not only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets.
