Hearts and Heights and Dreams: Music

Music that gentlier on the spirit lies
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Another great gift of life, created by man and enjoyed by mankind, is the silver sweet sound of great music.

How could this world have survived and advanced without this noble creation of the spirit.

What other food could we have found to nourish our souls and to keep us alive and to show us that there is beauty and proportion and order and rhythm and peace of mind in fullfillment as in adversity.
