Quote by Gustav Holst

The enormity of the universe revealed by science cannot readily be grasped by the human brain, but the music of The Planets enables the mind to acquire some comprehension of the vastness of space where rational understanding fails.

It implies that music has the power to evoke emotions and connections that enable us to grasp the magnitude and mystery of the universe in a way that pure scientific data cannot.
