MUSIC
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness & of pain: of strength & freedom.The beauty of disappointment & never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature & everlasting beauty of monotony

of loneliness,habits and pleasure
"What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands among friends and the daily habits or pleasures, the more, it seems to me, it flees me and retires into its fortress. The man who lives in solitude, but who produces much, is the one who enjoys those treasures we bear in our bosom, but which forsake us when we give ourselves to others. When one yields oneself completely to one's soul, it opens itself to one, and then it is that the capricious thing allows one the greatest of good fortunes . . . that of sympathizing with others, of studying itself, of painting itself constantly in its works"
Eugène Delacroix
