The highest party
If there is music, there is life
and harmony and beauty,
if the music is well tuned and temperate,
a fugue, a dance, a choir or a symphony,
it knows no bounds but can reach anywhere
to any height of joy and happiness and glory,
beauty being just about the only thing
that always could redeem all mankind,
history and civilization, just by being,
since there is no truer thing than beauty,
which, the more it is endowed with beauty,
is the truer and the more important
as a life-inspiring source of joy
which the more certainly can carry on the world,
sustaining it by being just the essence of all life and soul.
