TQS on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of imitation vellum, signed “Pablo Casals,” no date. An essay titled “Hear the Words of Your Art.” In part: “In the confusion of the world today, I see a disrespect for the real values of life. Beauty is all about us, but many people are blind to it. It is often as if they looked at the wonders of nature without seeing them…. I say to people: you must try to hear the words of your heart, you must learn the good things about yourself. Every human being has something precious within him, something that will tell him what is right, if only he will listen…. We do not live alone. Every human being has a social responsibility, and every human being must do something for peace. That is why I wrote [the oratorio] ‘El Pessebre’ to bring a message of peace to people….” Light scattered soiling and toning, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
