"The point behind all this fuss about pianos: the MUSIC they make and we, with our own two hands, can become at least for a few moments, immortal. For you see, all the shouting over political and religious issues will never accomplish what a single, simple piece of exquisite piano music will accomplish."

--- from Grand Obsession, Perri Knize

Which of course made me think of the passage from T.S. Eliot's The Dry Salvages where he writes ~

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
