It Is The Power Of Music To

From The Glow Of Enthusiasm I Let The Melody Escape.

It Seemed Unthinkable For Me To Leave The World Forever Before I Had Produced All That I Felt Called Upon To Produce

Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

I Haven't A Single Friend; I Must Live Alone. But Well I Know That God Is Nearer To Me Than To The Others Of My Art; I Associate With Him Without Fear, I Have Always Recognized And Understood Him, And I Have No Fear For My Music,-it Can Meet No Evil Fate. Those Who Understand It Must Become Free From All The Miseries That The Others Drag With Them.

We Mortals With Immortal Minds Are Only Born For Sufferings And Joys, And One Could Almost Say That The Most Excellent Receive Joy Through Sufferings.
