When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.
The great works belong to no one nation, no one cultural tradition even. They are universal.
If you have a great work in your head, nothing else thrives near it; all other thoughts are repelled, and the pleasure of life itself is for the time lost.
