And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. [Catamites]
        Then said the Lord unto me,
        The end is come upon my people of Israel;
        I will not again pass by them any more. Amos 8:2.
Amos 8:3 And the SONGS of the temple shall be HOWLING in that day,
         saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place;
        they shall cast them forth with silence

Music acts upon human beings, on their nervous systems and their vital processes: in 1849 Liszt wrote a song, “Die Macht der Musik” to a text by the Duchess Hele`ne d’Or le ́ans:MUSIC paying tribute to its own capacities.

Schopenhauer, on this point, echoes Plato.
        By means of massive irruptions, [overtones]
        MUSIC takes up residence in our intimate self
        and seemingly elects to make its home there.
The man inhabited and possessed by this intruder,
        the man ROBBED of a self, is no longer himself:
        he has become nothing more than a vibrating string, a sounding pipe.
He trembles madly under the bow or the fingers of the instrumentalist;
        and just as APOLLON fills the Pythia’s lungs,
        so the organ’s powerful voice
        and the harp’s gentle accents take possession of the listener.

This process, at once IRRATIONAL and SHAMFUL, takes place on the margins of truth,
and thus borders more on magic than on empirical science.

Something that wants to persuade us with singing,
         rather than convince us with reason,
       implements an art of pleasing that addresses the passions,
         that is, one that subjugates in suggesting and that enslaves the listener
       through the fraudulent and charlatan power of melody,
       weakens him through harmonic glamour or the fascinations of rhythm.

To accomplish this, the process does not tap the logistical or governing aspects of the mind
but rather engages the mind’s entire psychosomatic element.

Music, the sonorous phantasm, is the most futile of mere appearances,
        and appearance, which with neither the force to probe
          nor any intelligible determinism
    is nonetheless able to persuade the DAZZLED fool,
            is in some way the objectification of our weakness.
A man who has sobered up, a demystified man,
        does not forgive himself for having once been
        The dupe of misleading powers; a man who is abstaining,
         having awakened from his nocturnal exhilaration,
         BLUSHES [demons can't blush] for having given in to dark causality.

Once morning has returned,
         he disowns the pleasurable arts themselves,
        along with his own skills of pleasing.
Strong and serious minds, prosaic and positive minds:
       maybe their prejudice with regard to MUSIC comes from sobering up.
In the presence of the SCABROUS power un leashed by MUSIC,
       a number of attitudes are possible.
We can distinguish three: the right of use and enjoyment, passionate resentment, and refusal pure and simple.
