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

Monday's Quote
I'm going to do something different with the quotes this week, namely have them all revolve around a particular theme. The theme I've chosen (which probably won't come as a surprise given some of the other stuff I post) is music. Kicking us off is this comment from the noted British composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976):
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be
so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness
of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty
of disappointment and never-satisfied love.
The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting
beauty of monotony."
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness
of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty
of disappointment and never-satisfied love.

beauty of monotony."
