Genius Unrecognized
John 1:10-11
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.…


When Verdi the celebrated musician first made application for admission as a student at the Conservatoire Musicale at Milan, he was rejected by the director, Francesco Basily, on the ground that "he could make nothing of the new comer, who showed no disposition for music!" How this early verdict was reversed is a matter of notorious history.

(H. O. Mackey.)
