Quotes by Peter F. Smith (?)

“Samuel Taylor Coleridge speaks of the power of creative imagination which ‘reveals itself in the balance or reconciliation of opposite or discordant qualities; of sameness with difference; of the general with the (22>23) concrete; of the sense of novelty and freshness with old and familiar objects.[…] The inescapable truth is that aesthetic reward only follows when the pattern has been identiﬁed after a degree of effort . The idea of aesthetic reward is, for most, bound up with the concept of harmony.”
― Peter F. Smith, The Dynamics of Delight

“…echo the Gerard Manley Hopkins line: ‘likeness tempered with difference’. So, the attainment of knowledge has afﬁnities with the perception of harmony – order transcending complexity to establish a new concept with its unique elegance.”

“...in the tonic chord of G-major there is a signiﬁcant level of clash between the wave proﬁles of the notes, but the rate of overlap or synchronisation exceeds the rate of clash, so order succeeds in outweighing complexity. In this one chord is played out the archetypal battle between order and anarchy. What matters is that there is a signiﬁcant rate of conﬂict between consonance and dissonance. Harmony incorporates dissonance but synchrony outweighs conﬂict . This idea goes back at least as far as the medieval scholar Boethius who deﬁned consonance or harmony as ‘a uniﬁed concordance of sounds dissimilar in themselves’.”
