. . . M. H. Poincaré
(whose excellence testifies
to his great objectivity) proclaimed some years ago in his Science et
méthode that those of the avant-gardes were not only useful
but essential, even though the general public looked upon them as fools.
In fact, the form of a piece may be crude and out of proportion but still
contain the seed of an idea from which others coming later will draw much
beauty.
Claude Debussy
