The Whole Harmony of the Universe
The effect produced by singing depends upon the depth of feeling
of the singer. The voice of a sympathetic singer is quite different
from that of one who is heartless. However artificially cultivated
a voice may be, it will never produce feeling, grace and beauty
unless the heart be cultivated also. Singing has a twofold source
of interest, the grace of music and the beauty of poetry. In proportion
as the singer feels the words he sings, an effect is produced upon
the listeners; his heart, so to speak, accompanies the song.
