In part of Lord Kames’ Elements of Criticism, he says that ‘music improves the relish of a banquet.’ That I deny,–any more than painting might do. They may both be additional pleasures, as well as conversation is, but are perfectly distinct notices; and cannot, with the least propriety, be said to mix or blend with the repast, as none of them serve to raise the flavor of the wine, the sauce, the meat, or help to quicken appetite. But music and painting both add a spirit to devotion, and elevate the ardor.

~~~~~~~
