Hermann Hesse Quote
From the most ancient days of China to the myths of the Greeks we find the concept of an ideal, heavenly life for men under the hegemony of music. The Glass Bead Game is intimately bound up with this cult of music (in eternal transmutations the secret power of song greets us here below, says Novalis).
