Epigraph
ОглавлениеIt seems to me … that despite the logical, moral rigor music may appear to display, it belongs to a world of spirits, for whose absolute reliability in matters of human reason and dignity I would not exactly want to put my hand in the fire. That I am nevertheless devoted to it with all my heart is one of those contradictions which, whether a cause for joy or regret, are inseparable from human nature.
—Thomas Mann, Doctor Faustus
| HAMLET: | … —the rest is silence. | |
| HORATIO: | Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest! [March within.]Why does the drum come hither? |
