Harmony

Variety is the condition of harmony.

James Freeman Clarke.

From harmony, from heavenly harmony,
This universal frame began:
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes it ran,
The diapason closing full in Man.

Dryden.

Harmonious words render ordinary ideas acceptable; less ordinary, pleasant; novel and ingenious ones, delightful. As pictures and statues, and living beauty, too, show better, by music-light, so is poetry irradiated, vivified, glorified, and raised into immortal life by harmony.

Landor.
