"The author=E2=80=99s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begi
ns to
atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrop
hy
when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying tha
t
all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are neve
r
too far from physical movement."
