[FULL-SIZE] -- [Medium-Size]
“A poor, great man, deaf, loving, misunderstood, and a philosopher, whose music is full of gigantic or sorrowful dreams.”
“What dreams?”
“‘Eternity is a great eyry, whence all the centuries, like young eaglets, have flown in turn to cross the heavens and disappear. Ours is in its turn come to the brink of the nest; but they have clipped its wings, and it awaits death while gazing upon space, into which it cannot take flight.’”
“What is that you are reciting to me?”
“A sentence of de Musset, which translates your andante.”
