This powerful statement highlights the unique resilience of these art forms, their ability to transcend the limitations of recall and the fragility of physical objects. While novels, films, sculptures, and paintings might be lost to time, the essence of human experience, crystallized in verse and melody, possesses an almost eternal quality.
