Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the minds, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just, and beautiful.
音樂是一種道德律,它使宇宙有了魂魄,心靈有了翅膀,想像得以飛翔,使憂傷與歡樂有如醉如癡的力量,使一切事物有了生命;它是秩序的本質,引向成為真、善、美的一切。
