  6. I AM MUSICby A. C. INMAN I am music, most ancient of the arts.  I am more than ancient, I am eternal.  Even before life commenced upon this earth, I was here in the winds and the waves.  When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared, I was among them.  And when man came, I became the most delicate, most subtle, and most powerful medium for the expression of his emotions. In all ages, I have inspired men with hope, kindled their love, given voice to their joys, cheered them on to valorous deeds and soothed them in times of despair.
