All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.
Walt Whitman
Image
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her shall I follow.
Walt Whitman
Image
He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.
