On Music

(Originally Written April 22, 2005 in Book 1)

Music

A culmination of man's creative nature by utilization of his tool, language, to articulate his most profound emotions. As emotions are an operation of the mind, music is a creation of the mind. But as all emotions are born out of the depths of the soul, music thus pierces the soul. Vilvadi pens words, "L'amo ma egl' é, infidel speroma egl'é cruel" (I love him, but he is unfaithful, I hope but he is cruel) and set them to a pleasing yet somber tune. One can but only attempt in vain to not feel touched or moved in mind, body and soul.
