"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Elgar.

Sir Edward Elgar was born on this day in 1856.

My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.

Sir Edward Elgar

It sounds like this morning.
