The Music Page

It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike.
In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music.
--Ursula K. Le Guin

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

-- Lord Byron
