Summary

This quote, attributed to German poet Bertolt Brecht, suggests that even the most liberated and unrestricted form of expression, such as music or song, cannot break through tangible obstacles like prison bars or fences. It highlights the limitations of artistic freedom in the face of physical confinement and oppression. No matter how powerful or evocative a song may be, it cannot physically transcend the barriers imposed on individuals. The quote carries a message about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of external restrictions and the continued importance of fighting for true freedom.
