[EveningStar]

Once, when filling out an application for a summer job, on that line next to "other" in which the employer asks the prospective employee to list his or her religion, I wrote the word "Mozart." The personnel officer was not amused, but then again, I hadn't intended it as a joke. For there was a time when I was absolutely convinced that Mozart was at least as divinely inspired as Moses, Christ, the Buddha, Lao-tse, or Mohammed, and I suppose I still am. For in no other works of the human imagination can the divine spirit be heard more distinctly than in the literally miraculous music that this often vulgar, unpleasant, and difficult man produced during his pathetically brief thirty-five years.
