"You really have enjoyed the music to-night, haven't you, Maggie?"
"O yes, that is what prevents me from feeling sleepy. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs, and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music. At other times one is conscious of carrying a weight."
- The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
