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.
Summary
This quote suggests that the vastness of the universe, as understood through scientific discoveries, is beyond the complete comprehension of the human brain. However, the music composition "The Planets" can provide a unique experience that allows the mind to gain some understanding of the immense scope of space, even when rational understanding falls short. 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.
