“From pure sensation to the intuition of
beauty, from pleasure and pain to love and the mystical ecstasy and death — all
the things that are fundamental, all the things that, to the human spirit, are
most profoundly significant, can only be experienced, not expressed. The rest
is always and everywhere silence. After silence that which comes nearest to
expressing the inexpressible is music” – Aldous Huxley, “The Rest Is Silence”
from Music at Night and Other Essays,
1931
