But in the finished art of the song the use of words has no

Summary

This quote suggests that in the realm of musical composition, the role of words differs greatly from their use in poetry. In a song, words are no longer confined to conveying deep meaning or adhering to strict poetic devices. Instead, they are incorporated into the overall artistic expression and melody of the composition. The quote emphasizes that a song's lyrics have a distinct purpose and function within the context of music, rather than adhering to the traditional conventions and rules of poetry.

The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation.
