For Grammy Night

From A Mass for Lucero:

"To the two gods of art, Apollo and Dionysus, we owe our recognition that... there is a tremendous opposition, as regards both origins and aims, between the Apolline art of the sculptor and the non-visual, Dionysiac art of music."
-- The Birth of Tragedy, by Friedrich Nietzsche, Penguin, 1993, page 14

"Melody, then, is both primary and universal." (Author's italics)
-- Nietzsche, op. cit., page 33

"...in so far as he interprets music in images, he himself lies amidst the peaceful waves of Apolline contemplation...."
-- Nietzsche, op. cit., page 35

Apolline Contemplation

From The Miracle of the Bells, by Russell Janney, Prentice-Hall, 1946, page 333--

"He was singing softly:
'A pretty girl--
 is like a melody---- !'
 But that was always
 Bill Dunnigan's
 Song of Victory....
 Thus thought the...
 press agent for
'The Garden of the Soul.'"
