“The Few assume to be the deputies, but they are often only the despoilers of the Many.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
