music was so full of gladness, and Haydn replied, 'I
cannot make it otherwise. I write according to the thoughts I feel;
when I think upon my God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes
dance from my pen.'

"To the one who needs your smile there is nothing else in all the
world, perhaps, that will prove so life-giving. Many a despondent one
has been thrilled with vital power, lifted, and ennobled by the
