Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music, by Ferruccio Busoni—A Project Gutenberg eBook:

“FEELING—like honesty—is a moral point of honor, an attribute of whose possession no one will permit denial, which claims a place in life and art alike. But while, in life, a want of feeling may be forgiven to the possessor of a more brilliant attribute, such as bravery or impartial justice, in art feeling is held to be the highest moral qualification.

In music, however, feeling requires two consorts, taste and style. Now, in life, one encounters real taste as seldom as deep and true feeling; as for style, it is a province of art. What remains, is a species of pseudo-emotion which must be characterized as lachrymose hysteria or turgidity. And, above all, people insist upon having it plainly paraded before their eyes! It must be underscored, so that everybody shall stop, look, and listen. The audience sees it, greatly magnified, thrown on the screen, so that it dances before the vision in vague, importunate vastness; it is cried on the streets, to summon them that dwell remote from art; it is gilded, to make the destitute stare in amaze.

For in life, too, the expressions of feeling, by mien and words, are oftenest employed; rarer, and more genuine, is that feeling which acts without talk; and most precious is the feeling which hides itself.”

“

Architecture, sculpture, poetry and painting are old and mature arts; their conceptions are established and their objects assured; they have found the way through uncounted centuries, and, like the planets, describe their regular orbits.[A]

Music, compared with them, is a child that has learned to walk, but must still be led. It is a virgin art, without experience in life and suffering.

”

- Busoni

yesterday the bike with the broken wheel

and pulling off overcoats and scarves

and running down the highway towards the clock tower that looks like a needle

the bare flagstaff of this city of junkies

I caught my machine to work

remembered that I was willful once, horribly so

why can’t i be that way now?

but each day fades without a stain

the girls draw their faces on and then wash them down the drain

the audience is a counter of empty liquor bottles

I tied a mentally-challenged girl’s shoe

and a man on the bus said

“You’re like an angel”

I’m not an angel

I have nothing to offer but time, the shedding of my life

to an irish drunk who got in my face

I thought he was going to hit me but he said he loved my hair

I stopped cutting it and now it falls out long

and into little circles on square tiles
