There is a Perpetual Rhythm Going On
If there is any explanation of why man rejoices or is impressed
by the music played to him it is this. Is it only an amusement or
a pastime? No, there is something else besides that. The principal
reason is that in man there is a perpetual rhythm going on, which
is the sign of life in him; a rhythm which is expressed in his pulsation
and his heartbeats, even in his heart. And upon this rhythm depends
his health; not only his health, but his moods. Therefore, anywhere,
a continued rhythm must have an effect upon every person; and upon
each person its effect is distinct and different.
