“From where Pan’s cavern is
Intolerable music falls.
Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
Belly, shoulder, bum,
Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
Copulate in the foam.”

“Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Exceeding music must take the place
Of empty heaven and its hymns....”
