Quote by Sir Thomas Browne

Sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. For there is music where ever there is a harmony, order, or proportion: and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres.


Sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note

Summary

This quote by Sir Thomas Browne emphasizes that music is not limited to the sound produced by instruments. It suggests that beauty itself can evoke a musical sensation, one that is even more delightful than any musical instrument. Additionally, the quote suggests that harmony, order, and proportion found in all aspects of life can be considered music. Browne goes as far as asserting that the entire cosmos can be seen as a harmonious symphony, suggesting the concept of the "music of the spheres," where the celestial bodies move in perfect alignment to create a celestial harmony.
