Well, keep in mind that for musicians it's usualky the other way around: Romantics mostly preferred poetry to music (Schumann and Beethoven famously said that they would have composed no music, had they had the ability of translating the ideas into words in a satisfying manner), and muisicians in the 20th century were both dixated with mosernist literature and philosophy (Schienberg and Adorno/Mann, Ravel and Poe, Boulez and Bataille and Mallarme, to give 3 eminent examples).

Generally I would say that after a while artist will appreciate other mediums more, for they'll find in them everything they can't express in their. So there's that: do not take writers' praise for music as gospel, but at the same time you should also explore this medium. Are you really going to live an entire life without having memorized all Beethoven's string quartets?
