Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet

Music is the language of spirits. Its melody is like the folicsome breeze that makes the strings quiver with love. When the gentle fingers of Music knock at the door of our feelings, they awaken memories that have long lain hidden in the depths of the Past.  The sad strains of Music being us mournful recollections; and her quiet strains bring us joyful memories. The sound of strings makes us weep at the departure of a dear one, or makes us smile at the peace God has bestowed upon us. The soul of Music is of the Spirit, and her mind is of the Heart
