Bob Dylan: Chessmaster?

"In ceremonies of the horsemen,

Even the pawn must hold a grudge."

"Socrates, practise music!"

For where art is concerned, that despotic logician now and then had the feeling of a gap, of an emptiness, of a partial reproach, of a duty he had perhaps neglected. As he explains to his friends in prison, one and the same dream apparition often came to him, always with the same words, “Socrates, practice music!”

-Friedrich Nietzsche
