Franz Peter Schubert
"It sometimes seems to me as if I did not belong to this world at all."
Down the sweep of centuries it has been an obvious fact that a great man is destined to be misunderstood. This unalterable fact is indeed hard reality. But when the contemporaries are buried in oblivion, immortal achievements of the immortal world figures adorn the four corners of the globe throughout the length and breadth of the world.
Schubert, in the firmament of heart-music, you are beauty's power and power's silence.
Sri Chinmoy, Music: ecstasy's heart-hunger, Agni Press, 1994
