Suddenly the Sheik stopped playing, and balancing the lance overhead, point to the foe, rushed with a shrill cry upon him. Corti's friends on the tower held their breath; even the Emperor said: "It is too unequal. God help him!" At the last moment, however the moment of the thrust changing his horse to the right, the Count laid himself flat upon its side, under cover of his shield.
The hordes are in, the hordes are in!" Doubtless Count Corti's thought sped to the fair woman waiting for him in the chapel, yet he kept clear head. "Your Majesty," he said, "my Berbers are without. I will take them, and hold the Turks in check while you draw assistance from the walls. Or" he hesitated, "or I will defend your person to the ships. It is not too late."
Scientific, i.e. inductive, research must always find an end at the point where the organs become too small for observation; it can throw no light on the nature of the impression transmitted from Corti's organ to the consciousness. A suggestion has been put forward by Schopenhauer which may be viewed as an attempt to explain transcendentally the nature of music.
Highly complex as are the mathematical relations of the vibrations which convey musical tones from the instrument to the ear the final result of those relations, the impression on the rods of Corti's organ in the Cochlea, are as purely physiological as the impressions of touch.
