Hush! Look and listen. Where words fail, music and paintings speak.

Hush! Look and listen.

Original Title: Visual and Auditory Art (Painting and Music) - A Magnificent Duo

Dr Abe V Rotor

 

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.  Plato

Vivaldi brought the four seasons altogether in one sitting;

Beethoven composed unspoiled Nature to heal life's scars;

Mozart brought therapy to the forlorn, the sick and dying; 

Abelardo gave life to a river, and brought down the stars. avr

 

 

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures. Vincent Van Gogh

I saw dark clouds like curtain parting into view

a landscape so beautiful, so pristine;

I wondered where heaven is - isn’t it on earth? 

this scene in my whole life I hadn’t seen. 

Only when the inner you sees beyond the wall;

“What’s essential is invisible to the eye,” 

Exupery’ wrote in The Little Prince, the pilot 

lost in the desert and about to die. avr

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, 
which means never losing your enthusiasm. Aldous Huxley

Rise up from your hammock, the hearth can wait;

and don't face a blank sky or wall;

Growing old is living in the golden rays of sunset, 

where art grows mellow and beautiful. avr
