Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the minds, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just, and beautiful.
音乐是一种道德律，它使宇宙有了魂魄，心灵有了翅膀，想像得以飞翔，使忧伤与欢乐有如醉如痴的力量，使一切事物有了生命；它是秩序的本质，引向成为真、善、美的一切。
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
