To rise above things in life one must try to get to the essence. In other words, there is one way of listening to a musician and that is to consider the form, the technique; and the other way is to grasp the feeling, the sense that the music suggests. So it is with life.

• We can look at life in one way and see it in different forms and make a rigid conception of it,
• or we can see it so that we get the suggestion of its essence.
