"A man minus music is a man short a soul."--The Bard. What is this quote from?
Where is it from and who or what is "The Bard?"
Answers:
Shakespeare is often called The Bard.
Your quote may be based on a speech by Lorenzo contained by The Merchant of Venice:
"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."
The Merchant of Venice (V, i, 83-85)
Often "the Bard" refers to William Shakespeare. I recognize the quote but couldn't find it contained by quotation search engines. It sounds like something that might have come from Falstaff but I don't know which play and it might hold also come from Twelfth Night.
