Ludwig Van Beethoven

In Heaven we are.

On earth we become.

In the inner world we are.

In the outer world we become.

Indeed, there is an

immeasurable gulf

Between "we are"

and "we become."

Unfortunately, no human being

Either can remain

Or is destined to remain forever

At the Heights transcendental.

O critic in Eduard Hanslick, we are not ready to hear from you what you have to say:

"The first of Beethoven's compositions are music; in his last compositions Beethoven makes music."
