Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings
“Lyric poetry is dependent on the spirit of music, while music itself, in its full unrestricted form, has no need for the image and the concept, but rather only tolerates their proximity…the world symbolism of music utterly exceeds the grasp of language, because it refers symbolically to the original unity…All phenomena are merely allegories: so language, as an organ and symbol of phenomena, can never reveal the innermost depths of music, can only ever skim the surface, while even the most eloquent lyric poetry is powerless to bring the deepest meaning of music as much as one step closer to us.”
(from Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy)
