Johannes Brahms Quotes

There is so much that is true in your letter - if not all- and I must confess that with remorse and regret; but with pleasure and satisfaction I realise how kind it is - only an angel like you could have written so kindly... Life is a wild polyphony, but often a good woman like you can bring about some exquisite resolution of its discords.
