Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent

Ma vie est une énigme dont ton nom est le mot. (My life is an enigma, of which your name is the word.)

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent

Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ; it contains both of them in a state of high development, and epitomizes both.
