Full text
“Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
a charm to sadness,
gaiety and life to everything.
It is the essence of order
and lends to all that is good
and just and beautiful,
of which it is the invisible,
but nevertheless dazzling,
passionate, and eternal form."

Just wanted to THANK YOU for the beautiful work you did on the musical quote from Plato! You truly made the piece your own with all the special artistic touches added along with the calligraphy...it is more than what I expected and equally as beautiful as its message!!!! -- Heidi Funke

Full text in Latin:

Salve, Regína, mater misericórdiae; vita dulcédo et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamámus, éxsules fílii Hevae. Ad te suspirámus, geméntes et flentes, in hac lacrimárum valle. Eja ergo, advocáta nostra, illos tuos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte. Et Jesum, benedíctum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsílium osténde. O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo María.

English translation:

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus: O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
