Johannes Kepler Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens.

  Johannes Kepler

  Song, Heaven, Bird

  TV Mini-Series "Cosmos", 1980.

• The heavenly motions... are nothing but a continuous song for several voices, perceived not by the ear but by the intellect, a figured music which sets landmarks in the immeasurable flow of time.

  Johannes Kepler

  Song, Voice, Ears

• The heavenly bodies are nothing but a continuous song for several voices (perceived by the intellect, not by the ear); a music which... sets landmarks in the immeasurable flow of time. It is therefore, no longer surprising that man, in imitation of his creator, has at last discovered the art of figured song, which was unknown to the ancients. Man wanted to reproduce the continuity of cosmic time... to obtain a sample test of the delight of the Divine Creator in His works, and to partake of his joy by making music in the imitation of God.

  Johannes Kepler

  Song, Art, Men

  "The Sleepwalkers". Book by Arthur Koestler, 1959.
