Strain (music), a series of musical phrases that create a distinct melody of a piece


Russell
"The farther removed from rest, the greater the strain or tension. That which we call high electric potential is merely great strain to maintain a condition which is far from the condition of rest." The Secret of Light, page 139

"Electricity is the strain or tension set up by the two opposing desires of universal Mind thinking: the desire for balanced action and the desire for rest." The Secret of Light, page 139

"Electricity is an effect of strain, tension and resistance caused by the energy of desire in the Light of Mind to divide and extend the balanced unity of the ONE still Light of Universal Mind into pairs of many divided units of thinking-Mind." [A New Concept of the Universe, 1953]
