"The meaning of a word - to me - is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Colors and shapes make a more definite statement than words."

Although music appeals simply to the emotions, and represents no definite images in itself, we are justified in using any language which may serve to convey to others our musical expressions. Words will often pave the way for the more subtle operations of music, and unlock the treasures which sound alone can rifle, and hence the eternal popularity of song.
