Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Worth of Words
Quite so charming as elegant dic tion. I rate it highest in the esthetic hierarchy, whatever imputation this may put upon my instincts and taste. This, inclusive with the fact that I not only appreciate music (as I believe), but am supersensitive to it. The music thrill, enchanting and transporting as it is, is evanescent; moreover, it cannot be perfectly recalled and reenjoyed. True, we can absorb and retain a musi cal passage, but we cannot reproduce it in its original strength and beauty. We cannot keep it with us, as we can.
