MUSIC! There is something very wonderful in music. Words are wonderful enough : but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do—it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up: it puts noble feelings into us ; it melts us to tears, we know not how ; it is a language by itself, just as perfect in its way as speech, as words : just as divine, just as blessed.—Kingsley’s Sermon.
