KEITH JARRETT – What Is Music?

“Here the philosopher leaves us: enemy of disaster, he is sane as reason itself, and as prudent. And we remain in the company of an old plague victim, of a poet learned in every lunacy, and of a musician whose sublimity transcends the sphere of the heart.”

CIORAN, “Farewell to Philosophy” (1949)
