Summary

This quote highlights the intrinsic and immeasurable essence of music that surpasses the bounds of mathematical or logical comprehension. It suggests that while music can be measured and understood through aspects such as rhythm, scales, and structure, its beauty and impact extend far beyond what quantitative analysis can capture. The quote emphasizes the intangible quality of music, which holds a profound capacity to evoke emotions, touch the soul, and reveal aspects of the human experience that cannot be fully encapsulated by numbers or reasoning.

I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time

I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time, in a magic town, among magicians. When I was twelve, the words was my magic lantern, and by its green spirit glow I saw the past, the present, and into the future. We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see out destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put in the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God

He was rather a low sort of pony. The fact is, he had been originally jobbed out by the day, and he never quite got over his old habits. He was clever in melodrama too, but too broad--too broad. When the mother died, he took the port-wine business.''The port-wine business!' cried Nicholas.'Drinking port-wine with the clown,' said the manager; 'but he was greedy, and one night bit off the bowl of the glass, and choked himself, so his vulgarity was the death of him at last.
