not my own. Under the influence of music it seems to me that I feel what I do not really feel,
that I understand what I do not understand, that I can do what I cannot do. I explain it by the

someone yawning; there is nothing for me to laugh at, but I laugh when I hear people
laughing.

composed it. My soul merges with his and together with him I pass from one condition into
another, but why this happens I don't know.”
