It seems somehow the very central essence of us, song; as if all the rest were but wrappages and hulls! If the King loves music, it is well with the land. Without music life would be a mistake. Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body. If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
