“Pablo Casals is a very great artist. What I admire is the firm stand he has taken not only against the oppressors of his countrymen, but also against those opportunists who are always ready to compromise with the Devil.

“It is not the eye that sees the beauty of the heaven, nor the ear that hears the sweetness of music or the glad tidings of a prosperous occurrence, but the soul, that perceives all the relishes of sensual and intellectual perfections; and the more noble and excellent the soul is, the greater and more savory are its perceptions.” SoulEyeHeavenGreaterPerspectivePerceptionIntellectualPerfectionEarsNobleGladSensualExcellentPerceiveSweetnessProsperousRelishTidingsSavoryEyes That See Author:Jeremy Taylor
