The German language is so sonorous, isn't it? Beautiful language...the language of poetry. Angry, angry poetry. - John Oliver
Yet even then the music has still a quality stern and implacable, deliberate and without passion so much as immolation, pleading, asking, for not love, not life, forbidding it to others, demanding in sonorous tones death as though death were the boon, like all Protestant music. - William Faulkner
