Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Are we not formed, as notes of music are,
For one another, though dissimilar?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music is love in search of a word.
Sidney Lanier
Music was a thing of the soul—a rose-lipped shell
that murmured of the eternal sea—a strange bird
singing the songs of another shore.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
