    as your bright leaf?”

    “I never drank of Aganippe well,
    Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
    And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
    Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
    Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
    But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
    And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
    I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
