Music has charms to sooth the savage beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

To pass over youth in dull indifference, to refuse the sweets of life because they once must leave us, is as preposterous as to wish to have been born old, because we one day may be old. For my part, my youth may wear and waste, but it shall never rust in my possession.
