Music
Never did music more sink into and 1)soothe and fill me --never so prove its soul--2)rousing power, its impossibility of statement. Especially in the 3)rendering of one of Beethoven’s master 4)septets... was I carried away, seeing, absorbing many wonders. 5)Dainty abandon, sometimes as if Nature laughing on a hillside in the sunshine; serious and firm 6)monotonies, as of winds; a horn sounding through the tangle of the forest, and the 7)dying echoes; soothing floating of waves, but presently rising in surges, angrily lashing, muttering, heavy; piercing peals of laughter, for 8)interstices; now and then weird, as Nature herself is in certain moods --but mainly 9)spontaneous, easy, careless --often the sentiment of the postures of naked children playing or sleeping. It did me good even to watch the violinists drawing their bows so 10)masterly --every motion a study. I allowed myself, as I sometimes do, to wander out of myself. The11)conceit came to me of a 12)copious grove of singing birds, and in their midst a simple harmonic duo, two human souls, steadily asserting their own pensiveness, joyousness.

音樂
音樂從未如此滲透我的心靈，撫慰和充實我的心靈--從未如此顯示它喚醒靈魂的力量，它的不可言傳。尤其在演奏貝多芬的一首杰出的七重奏時……我神魂顛倒，目睹吸收了多少神妙之處。奔放而不失優(yōu)雅，有時恍如造化在陽光照耀下的山腰傲笑；蕭然執(zhí)著的單調(diào)重復(fù)，恍如風(fēng)聲颯然；號聲響徹縱橫交錯的森林，繼而是漸漸消失的回聲；波浪平緩飄蕩，可是一會兒又洶涌澎湃，怒濤沖擊，隆隆作響，沉重有力；間隙傳來尖利洪亮的笑聲；偶爾怪誕，如同造化有時喜怒無常--不過大體還是自然而然，從容自在，無憂無慮--往往宛如赤身露體的孩童在玩耍或沉睡時神態(tài)可掬。小提琴手弓弦舞動嫻熟自如，即使觀看也能使我受益--每一個動作都有講究。我聽任自己忘我神游，有時我就是如此。我忽發(fā)奇想，有一個百鳥歡唱的富饒園林，啁啾嘀囀之間有個簡單和諧的一對，兩個人的靈魂，堅定地道出了他們自己的憂思和歡樂。
