Tim Mahon wonders who said:

>"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is
>impossible to be silent."

The tide moves more sand than a fist can hold.  It is better to speak
metaphorically about certain topics than to attempt false precision.
Perhaps the definition of music offered is inadequeate as a definition,
but useful for capturing the sense of the idea.
