ABSTRACT
I think that one must listen to my music, forgetting its success (not to mention the polemics that attended that success!), and even forgetting the music. What does a rose-window in a cathedral do? It teaches through imagery, through symbolism, through all the characters that inhabit it – but what most catches the eye are its thousand spots of colour which ultimately dissolve into a single, very pure shade, so that someone looking on says only, ‘That window is blue’, or, ‘That window is violet.’
