Henry MillerWhat are our conductors giving us year after year? Only fresh corpses. Over these beautifully embalmed sonatas, toccatas, symphonies and operas the public dance the jitterbug.

From the churches comes the melancholy dirge of the dead Christ, a music which is no more sacred than a rotten turnip.
