Translations:Frederick Chopin/4/en
He kept apart from all noisy and frequented ways and built a secluded cell for himself. As the devout pour out their souls in prayer, so he poured out his soul into his compositions. What others say on their knees, he uttered in tone-language—all the mysteries of passion and grief which man can understand without words, because there are no words in which they can adequately be expressed.[1]
