Music
is the art of the prophets,
Martin
Lutherthe only art, which can soothe the turmoil in one's soul; it belongs to the most splendid and most precious gifts, God has given us. Everything is transient, only Gods word is eternal and Gods word reveals itself in the creations of a genius. I know very well, that God is closer to me in my art than to the others, I treat Him without fear, I have recognised Him each time, and I have understood Him. Only divine art, only there are the levers which give me strength, to sacrifice the best part of my life to the heavenly muses. Thus, art always replaces divinity, and human relation to it is religion. Are there not moments, when you would almost like to believe a superior being guided his pen. Music is religion for those people who have a pure heart. Music is the language of angels. |
