Summary

This quote suggests that our understanding of the world is primarily based on illusions rather than genuine wisdom. It implies that what we perceive as knowledge or insight is often deceptive or misguided. Our experiences may give us a false sense of understanding, causing us to believe we possess wisdom when, in reality, it is built on uncertain or illusory foundations. Thus, the quote encourages us to critically evaluate the sources of our knowledge and question the reliability of our experiences.

By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, but music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night and his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.
