Quote #4
[…] let us just say
that the real center of the universe,
the only true point of view,is full of hope that he, the hub of the cosmos (40-44)
The speaker uses some pretty extravagant terms to refer to himself in these lines. He's the "only true point of view" and "the real center of the universe," and the "hub of the cosmos." It doesn't get much more self-centered than that, does it? But the speaker isn't being totally serious, of course. He's just trying to give us a sense of how good this music makes him feel. It makes him feel like the center of the world.
