    “I am advised to give her music a’ mornings; they say it will
    penetrate.”

    “The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
    That never words were music to thine ear,
    That never object pleasing in thine eye,
    That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
    That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
    Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
