”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.”

“[In Italy] It was impossible not to resist the Marxist delusions and the mad implementation of these delusions openly and fully on the soil where not only the great Roman Empire but also a new culture and civilization was born over twenty centuries ago. which gave the life of the whole of Europe and beyond its borders a completely new direction, and in the most significant period of history to bear its mark. A period that has not yet ended, and with what characteristic will history be marked for a long, incalculable and unpredictable long time. The land of Cato, Cicero, and Caesar had to give Mussolini.”

“They entered the town in a light rain falling. The horse nickered and snuffed shyly at the hocks of the other animals standing at the stall before the lamplit bagnios they passed. Fiddlemusic issued into the solitary mud street and lean dogs crossed before them shadow to shadow. At the end of the town he led the horse to a rail and tied it among others and stepped up the low wooden stairs into the dim light that fell from the doorway there. He looked back a last time at the street and at the random windowlights let into the darkness and at the last pale light in the west and the low dark hills around. Then he pushed open the door and entered.”

Six Fun Facts About Norse Mythology to Ponder
1. Freyas Cats? - Freya is often depicted with Cats pulling her chariot, what you're not told is that the word that is translated to "cats" actually could just as easily translate to bears or weasels. The reason cats were chosen was to emphasize the witchcraft association and mock Freya. She is much more likely to have bears, wolverines or some extinct animal of a similar vein.
2. Thor's Goats? -Similar to Freya's cats the Goats of Thor actually refers to animals that are in the same vein as goats from wisent to aurochs, moose to reindeer. It could also refer to an extinct animal such as Wooly Mammoths or Rhinos, given the emphasis on Teeth I wonder if he wasn't originally pulled by mammoths? Would be cool if it was the case.
3. Odin God of War? - While often depicted as a god of Warriors, Odin is more of a black market gun runner or financier. Fighters that would be associated with him were more of the Viking Raiders or what could be described as Pirates or thieves. This is also where the riches he has comes in, as the valuable weapons, jewelry and items left on the battlefield are his. The corpses are for his wolves and ravens (some of his followers the "Wolves of Odin" would be the people to go ransack the bodies after the fact).
4. Halls? - While Valhalla and Hel are the most commonly known there are also halls for pretty much any God from Aegir the giant to Forsetti the Lawgiver. As well as a general ancestral hall or region. Which you'd end up going to would vary depending on the individual and whether they were welcomed into it or not.
5. God of Dawn? - While Easter from Germany tends to be thought of as the dawn goddess of the Norse, she really has no presence there. There is however a God of Dawn in Norse Myth, Dellinger. He is part of the more obscure side of the mythos including his son Dagr (Day) as well as Nott (Night) and Jord (Earth) both at times described as his wife.
6. Trolls? -Trolls are most often thought of as monsters to be killed, but this wasn't always the way. Trolls are giantkin and elementals. While not all were fond of humans they tended to be local deities of woods, rivers, mountains, etc. Though overtime they were vilified and combined with the lore of monsters and outcast humans to craft the modern Troll. If you have a troll toy or statue, you have an idol to a local nature deity.
