A Musical Offering Quotes

His face was like the sun, his feet like pillars of fire.’ These are the lines from the Book of Revelations that Messiaen used as an epigraph for the score of the Quartet.”
― Luis Sagasti, A Musical Offering

“All those who could ran for their lives. The snow buried the organ of Himmelheim. And it buried the little town of Himmelheim.”
