“Wilderness. The word itself is music.”

“A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words.”

“Music means itself.”

“But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens I tell you, it had gone mad.”

“It's not the words but the music that counts.”

“Music does not replace words, it gives tone to the words”

“Music is love in search of a word.”

“Away, away, from men and towns,
To the wild wood and the downs —
To the silent wilderness
Where the soul need not repress
Its music lest it should not find
An echo in another’s mind.”

“If wilderness is outlawed, only outlaws can save wilderness.”

“Christ of His gentleness
Thirsting and hungering,
Walked in the wilderness;
Soft words of grace He spoke
Unto lost desert-folk
That listened wondering.”
