Just as the moon was fading
Amid her misty rings,
And every stocking was stuffed
With childhood’s precious things,
Old Kriss Kringle looked around,
And saw on the elm-tree bough,
High hung, an oriole’s nest,
Lonely and empty now.
“Quite a stocking,” he laughed,
“Hung up there on a tree!
I didn’t suppose the birds
Expected a present from me!”
Then old Kriss Kringle, who loves
A joke as well as the best,
Dropped a handful of snowflakes
Into the oriole’s empty nest.

The Catena Aurea, by Thomas Aquinas, includes the words of Rabanus on man's sin nature—
"It is not without cause that he speaks of them as dwelling among the tombs; for what else are the bodies of the faithless but sepulchres of the dead... in which the word of God dwells not, but there is enclosed the soul dead in sins. He says, “So that no man might pass through that way,” because before the coming of the Savior the Gentile world was inaccessible Or, by the two, understand both Jews and Gentiles, who did not abide in the house, that is, did not rest in their conscience. But they abode in tombs, that is, delighted themselves in dead works, and suffered no man to pass by the way of faith, which way the Jews obstructed."

What if we just literally *shut it all down* and continued on without any technology.
Do you think that our bodys would know the truth?
Would we would find the path to each other?
Lets try it out, my life have been only to meet you.
So, tell me please and I will go.
Where, when?
What do you choose?

"To lose oneself completely in these distant times, one must be a poet - or a painter - on a late summer day in the south, and a glass of sunny wine in one's head. Then you see these millennia before you, in the middle of a landscape like a fairy tale. If you only ponder them at your desk and strain your poor logic, the glow of these early times will never shine on you."

”Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward be at one. May I esteem the wise alone wealthy, and may I have such abundance of wealth as none but the temperate can carry.”

The shaping of reality, and the insight into it, are both therefore intimately related in the vocation of the poet. This visionary quality of the poet’s inspiration, however, has been seen as similar to other types of divine inspiration, and as on a continuum with them. Plato distinguished four types of maníai or frenzy, and the corresponding deities by whom each frenzy was imparted: love, inspired by Aphrodite; poetry, inspired by the Muses; the mysteries, inspired by Dionysos; and prophecy, inspired by Apollon.

”We have become too civilized to grasp the obvious. For the truth is very simple. To survive you often have to fight, and to fight you have to dirty yourself. War is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. Those who take the sword perish by the sword, and those who do not take the sword perish by smelly diseases.”
