Thomas Browne Quotes

There Is A Musicke Where-ever There Is A Harmony, Order Or Proportion; And Thus Farre We May Maintain The Musick Of The Spheares; For Those Well Ordered Motions, And Regular Paces, Though They Give No Sound Unto The Care, Yet To The Understanding They Strike A Note Most Full Of Harmony. Whatever Is Harmonically Composed Delights In Harmony; Which Makes Me Much Distrust The Symmetry Of Those Heads Which Declaime Against All Church Musicke... Even That Vulgar And Taverne Musicke, Which Makes One Man Merry, Another Mad, Strikes In Mee A Deepe Fit Of Devotion, And A Profound Contemplation Of The First Composer; There Is Something In It Of Divinity More Than The Eare Discovers. It Is An Hieroglyphicall And Shadowed Lesson Of The Whole World, And Creatures Of God, Such A Melody To The Eare, As The Whole World Well Understood, Would Afford The Understanding. In Briefe It Is A Sensible Fit Of That Harmony, Which Intellectually Sounds In The Eares Of God.
