It takes a Storm to create a Sound.
There is a legend of a German Baron who, at his castle on the Rhine, stretched wires from tower to tower, that the winds might convert them into the sound of a harp. The soft breezes played about the castle, but no music was born.
One night there arose a great tempest, and the hill and castle were smitten by the fury of the mighty winds. The Baron went to the threshold to look out upon the terror of the storm, and the sound of a harp was filling the air with strains that rang out even above the clamor of the storm. It needed the storm to bring out the music.
And have we not known men and women whose lives have not given out any entrancing music in a day of a calm prosperity, but who, when the tempest drove against them have astonished their fellows by the power and strength of their music?
