“One day the last portrait of Rembrandt and the last bar of Mozart will have ceased to be — though possibly a colored canvas and a sheet of notes will remain — because the last eye and the last ear accessible to their message will have gone.” ~ Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West, Vol 1: Form and Actuality
