Thought for the Day (August 2)

From: Peter T.

"There is in souls a sympathy with sounds,
And, as the mind is pitched the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk, or grave:
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touched within us, and the heart replies."
William Cowper ("The Winter Walk at Noon"), 18th century poet.

yeah...what he said....Cowper's the man.

Wish I could think up responses like that when someone asks me why I like music so much....
