Silly me... I just saw Shervon's first posting on Part V.
Anyway... my housemate is wondering what's bitten me... I'm like
smiling like I just fell in love...
Reminds me of what Shakespeare said about music in The Merchant
of Venice:
For do but note a wild and wanton herd,
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts,
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music: (5.1.13)
How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony. ( 5.1.63-66)
