“Just as certain creatures are the last examples of a form of life which nature has abandoned, I wondered whether music were not the solo example of the form which might have served —had language, the forms of words the possibility of analysing ideas, never been inverted —for the communication of souls. Music is like a possibility which has never been developed, humanity having taken different paths, those of language, spoken and written.” Marcel Proust.

“Those who dream of a great feast may weep the next morning. Those who dream of weeping may enjoy the hunt the next day. While they dream, they do not know they are dreaming.

Veil upon Veil

“The Heavens are like a cupola upside down, without stability, at once moving and unmoving. One is lost in contemplation of such a mystery – it is veil upon veil; one is like a figure painted on a wall, and one can only bite the back of one’s hand.” The Conference of the Birds, A Sufi Fable by Farid ud-Din Attar
