The owls hooted in the oak-woods, and the sound of water the Brathay rushing over the Skelwith rocks, and all the little becks in fell and field, near and far murmured through the night air, and made earth-music to the fells. Farrell had much of the poet in him; and the mountains and their life were dear to him.
Now with earth-music I find that even Wagner is not able to achieve any consecutive perfection: he reaches to a height only to fall back and disappoint. But this other music, which is not heard with the senses but is invariably felt by the soul, remains at extreme and fluid perfection, and casts such spells over the listener that he is beside himself with enjoyment.
The most beautiful music flowed through my mind, in which I noticed certain peculiarities there was no sadness in it, and it swayed me so that I seemed to go into a state of white-heat with emotion over it. It was extraordinarily much smoother than any earth-music I ever heard, and extremely consecutive, like a fluid.
