Music -- Philosophy and aesthetics
"I FELT ... that the book I shall write will be neither in English nor
in Latin; and this for the one reason ... namely, that the language in
which it may be given me not only to write, but also to think, will not
be Latin, or English, or Italian, or Spanish, but a language not even
one of whose words I know, a language in which dumb things speak to me,
and in which, it may be, I shall at last have to respond in my grave to
an Unknown Judge."
(Von Hofmannsthal: A letter.)
