I ran across a quote in the liner notes for Victory at Sea attributed
to Walter Pater (should I know of him?) the quote is:

   "all art constantly aspires toward the condition of music."

Nice thought, but I don't know if I agree with this any more than I think
that Architecture is "frozen music".

Are any of you Listers familiar with Mr. Pater or his quote?  Comments?
