p.

know the opera by heart
and it is one of the great
things in life which I want
you to enjoy with me,
sometime. This presentation
was simply superb, all
the artists were total
strangers to us as far as
having any reputation in
America, but they were
great. As I hear that
wonderful music in
my ears, still, the tears
rush to my eyes. Oh! if
you could only once feel
the soul of music pervading
your whole being, you would
understand me so much
better. Sometimes I suffer
with the thought that the
language of my life, the great
soul language of music is
to you as a foreign tongue -
and I turn cold and
wretched at the thought,
but, it is over -
