columns of heart-shattering music. Choir and an-
tichoir were filling fast with unknown voices. Thou
also, Dying Trumpeter! with thy love which was vic-
torious, and thy anguish that was finishing, didst en-
ter the tumult; trumpet and echo—farewell love and
farewell anguish—rang through the dreadful Sanc-
tus.”
—From De Quincey’sDream Fugue in the “Vision of Sudden
Death.”
Truly a marvellous picture of the effect of a fugue in a great
medieval cathedral!
