While I listened, music was to my soul what the atmosphere is to my body; it was the breath of my inward life. I felt, more deeply than ever, that music is the highest symbol of the infinite and holy.... With renewed force I felt what I have often said, that the secret of creation lay in music. "A voice to light gave being." Sound led the stars into their places.

Lydia Maria Child
