W. H. Auden
-
Music is the best means we have of digesting time.
-
Music can be made anywhere, is invisible and does not smell.
-
A verbal art like poetry is reflective it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
-
'Healing,' Papa would tell me, 'is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature.'
-
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
