Music has charms to soothe the savage beast
The phrase was coined by William Congreve, in The Mourning Bride, 1697:
Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,

The silent Tomb receiv’d the good Old King;

Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday.

Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
